From the Alertbox of You Know Who… Read It!

I always read Jacob Nielsen’s alerts… But this one is really important. It’s about the next step in the democratization of software interfaces. To put it shortly… using an analogy… if given a choice, most people wouldn’t cook their meals… they’d rather select them from a restaurant menu… with pictures… Sorry geeks… yeah… dumb users, what can you say… :)

    How usable is Jakob Nielsen?

    “Jakob Nielsen is still very popular outside the usability community. Amongst his colleagues however, his popularity has been eroding steadily. Why? There are a couple of reasons for this.”

    Dimitre,
    With your own words: “I suppose I can be described as a geek”… :) But anyway… I am not a JN “follower”… I just have a healthy respect for his efforts and his usability evangelism. Nobody has a monopoly on the “truth”… especially in such tricky matters as interface usability and design.
