Usability Quote of the Day

May 23, 2012

There's something very odd going on here. If designers made completely unrealistic assumptions about the physical world when designing technology, then we would blame them (and likely sue them) for technical incompetence. Yet when they make grossly unrealistic assumptions about human nature... we don't blame the designers, we blame the unfortunate people who are just trying to do what the design requires. -- Kim Vicente, The Human Factor, p. 45.    (via interaction-design.org)

Reviewing search from a human perspective - People aren't perfect spellers or human thesauri. What one person calls a "coat" might be a "jacket" to someone else. Do you put a hyphen between Hewlett and Packard or do you just spell it HP? Is it a 15" or 15-inch monitor? This report evaluates how the Web's leading e-commerce sites handle the "human" aspect of searching."   continued ...   (Via 37signals)
