Usability Quote of the Day

February 9, 2012

Most people who encounter computer-based automation at work do not choose the software with which they work, and have comparatively little control over when and how they do what they do. For them, the use of computers can be an oppressive experience, rather than a liberating one. -- Sarah Kuhn, Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996    (via interaction-design.org)

Search engine Google sets sights on video

"Monday night, Google introduced a test site that searches closed-caption TV show transcripts (www.google.com/video).

What the site won't let you do is locate specific video clips, even though some smaller video search engines offer that. Google says clips will come in the next version.

Rival Yahoo countered Google's Monday announcement by saying it would incorporate closed-caption transcripts at its test site video.search.yahoo.com by the end of February. Yahoo said it also will add searchable news video clips -- currently unavailable.
Google is working with transcripts from ABC, PBS, C-Span and Fox News.

As more video goes online, the ability to search for it is the next frontier, Internet search analysts say."

Another clean interface ...
