"My account" or "Your account" labels
- by Ferdy
I have somewhat of a strange question that is not really technical, but I do hope to collect meaningful advice.
I'm building a large web application, basically a photo sharing community site. As part of this site, logged-in users can go to their profile, from which they can see their own things (images, comments, votes) as well as edit their details and preferences. Users can also see profiles of others users (their images, comments, votes), but of course not edit their details.
The question I have is simple but it keeps bothering me: What to call the personal links and content of a user? Should they be named "Your":
Your images
Your profile
...
...or "My":
My images
My profile
...or perhaps named, even if you're logged in:
Fledder's images
Fledder's profile
As unimportant as it may sounds, I'm really looking for advice in this area. I'm particularly interested in any standards, why an option is preferred, and in which contexts it is preferred.
