Usability Quote of the Day

November 17, 2008

The prevailing computer-human interaction (CHI) model of interface design has been partly responsible for the current state of the desktop computer. The breakthrough on which the field emerged was the admission of psychological principles. The resulting graphical user interface has been the focus of the field of computer-human interaction for nearly 20 years. This interface is a virtual control panel whose design has remained quite technology-centered. -- Malcolm McCullough, Digital Ground, 2004   (via interaction-design.org)

To Hear Visitor Feedback, Remove Your Hands From Your Ears

"Why is it that usability seems to be in the forefront of any discussion about web design and search engine marketing? Is it because in general, we're past the early education stage in our lessons and now into the advanced stages, where we're more aware of our surroundings? Have we just realized that not everyone uses our web site the way we do?

Can You Read Me Now?

I love studies in human factors, user experience, usability and search engine usage. I can never know enough about how people will react to a web site, no matter where they found it, or what it looks like. Some studies are very surprising.

One of them is the Reading Online Text with a Poor Layout: Is Performance Worse?. It seems as though people are willing tolerate more than I gave them credit for when it comes to reading content online."
