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)

What Kind of Web Writer are You?

"From my own experience, particularly with larger companies, web writers are divided up into two groups: content writers and copywriters.
This division reflects the old demarcation between editorial and advertising in traditional print media.

But...the web is not a traditional print medium

This division of writing roles in traditional media may make sense in the offline world, but it doesn't make as much sense online."
