Stand Up To Usability Experts
from the get-rid-of-'em dept
Well, it's about time. For every person that points to Jakob Nielsen as the God of online usability, there's some website out there that's doing just fine ignoring most everything he has to say. Here's an article pointing out that Jakob might not always be exactly right (even if he is on target often enough) and people should figure out how to best present their own content based on knowing what they're doing, and their audience - rather than relying on some general comments from a "usability expert".
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
