Of the various frame components, the Places category is the most abstract. However it also emphasizes the metaphors that the zoom levels build upon.  In the upper left-hand corner reside the zoom buttons, which can instantly transition the user among the Activity, Home, Friend, and Neighborhood views.  For clarity, the upper left-hand function buttons on the keyboard have identical icons and functionality.

On the other side of the Places edge resides the Bulletin-Board button.  Again, this button has an analogous key on right-hand side of the keyboard's function keys.  Discussed later, this button acts as a toggle for an auxiliary layer which can provide contextual chat and a place to share objects.  This button functions within the Places bar because it acts as a modifier to any view.  In a sense, it adds an additional layer of context to any other "place" on the laptop.
