Avalon suggests that sales aren't down, only shipments are. How can that be possible? Simple: in the past, the RIAA always shipped considerably more units than were sold.

Nielsen watch 2003 12/22/2003 10:11 PM

Jakob Nielsen's Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2003 make interesting reading this year, covering topics including undated content, incomprehensible thumbnails and overly specific forms. In previous years Jakob's complaints tended to center around far more obvious problems such as horizontal scroll bars and fixed size fonts. Either the field of web usability has matured to the point where the common issues are less glaringly obvious or Jakob is running out of low-hanging fruit.

Design critique of Jakob Nielsen

Design critique of Jakob Nielsen 05/24/2004 02:56 AM
Jakob Nielsen is a legendary usability crank who writes great little columns called "AlertBoxes" wherein he runs down his best practices for one or another element of usability (I always forget to read these because I can't find any RSS or Atom for Jakob's site and it updates too infrequently to put it in my regular Moz tab-group bookmark; nevertheless, some of Nielsen's pieces, like the Microcontent thing from 1998 have been very influential in my blogging style)

Last week's AlertBox was about link-style, and it's pretty good and sensible. But, like all of the AlertBoxen, it is ugly as hell.

Enter "Design Eye for the Usability Guy." Five designers, who have clearly been scorched by Nielsen's legendary rants about the primacy of usability over design, take on Nielsen's AlertBox house-style in a kind of overblown, gushy tone, and undertake to remodel Jakob's image so that his site is both usable and beautiful. It's funny, subversive and in the words of the Cos, "you may learn seomthing before it's done. Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Last time I checked it wasn't illegal to use illustrations to spice up your web site. Now, before we go wild let us remember that Nielsen's not exactly the nothing-but-prada-shoes type of guy. So, I settled with a clean, icon-like style that will reinforce each guideline visually. The colours used are basic: red for links, blue for hover and shades of gray and black for other text. Again, let's try to stick with a style that somehow matches his current branding.

To translate the general concept of links into something simple I've chosen to use an underlined letter "a," applied to an assortment of situations that exemplify each guideline. The font used is Georgia, which happens to work nicely and is very much ubiquitous.

Nielsen Sees Gold In TiVo Users

Nielsen Sees Gold In TiVo Users 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
It looks like TiVo is finally catching on. While Nielsen had planned to start including data on people using TiVo-like devices in 2006, they're now pushing that deadline up a year, as they've noticed that the TV-watching public is increasingly signing up for such services (thanks, in part, to various cable and satellite providers offering them with basic service). For the extra paranoid, Nielsen says they won't track things like whether or not people fast forward through commercials, but only whether or not the show was watched at a different time than it was originally broadcast. Still, it probably won't be long before they're tracking commercial skippers as well. So the question is, once the data on commercial skippers becomes public, what will happen? Will broadcasters demand changes in the technology (or the law!), or will they admit that it's time that they, themselves, changed how they present advertising (or, even, how they fund their operations)?

Jakob Nielsen: Attempts At Web Personalization Have Failed
htt p://theage.com.au/articles/2004/06/07/1086460217133.html

User experience expert Jakob Nielsen, co-founder with Don Norman of the Nielsen Norman Group, decries the poor search capabilities within Web sites. "A lot of Web sites have search that doesn't prioritize results well and you couldn't make any sense of the results even if they were in the right order. We have relatively good search engines for the Internet but the sad thing is, within the Web sites the search engines have not really improved." The Nielsen Norman Group helps organizations design "human-centered" products and services by examining all aspects of the end-user's interaction with a company's services and products. Nielsen complains: "Web sites are also pretty bad at predicting what you want -- all the attempts at personalization have mainly failed." When a searcher's results are shown on a small display, the system's ability to predict what the searcher wants is extremely important, as is its ability to describe things concisely. Nielsen also thinks Web designers need to spend more energy find constructive ways to use this bandwidth: "We're now at a point where it's possible for many users to watch decent-quality video over the Internet. That's a technology question. But this then begs the question, what are you going to use it for in terms of content? Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's a good idea to do it."
