Abstract
Tickers on communications devices are navigated using a navigation mechanism associated with the communications devices. The navigation mechanisms can permit a user to navigate through content in a ticker or to configure presentation attributes of the ticker. Alternately, the navigation mechanisms can allow the user to initiate secondary actions associated with ticker content, such as launching uniform resource identifiers, launching local applications, accessing remote data or applications, or performing other interactive actions. When the secondary action requires a network connection, the mobile communication device can immediately transmit a request through the network if a network connection is present or can wait until a network connection becomes available. The navigation mechanism can be a keypad of a mobile communication device, soft keys, voice command receivers, motions sensors that respond to motion of the mobile communications device, or other input devices.
