Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2005 (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)

era — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 01:25:00 -0400

Why not to mess with fonts and links, use gratuitous pop-ups, Flash, or IE-only design, etc I'm generally vaguely skeptical of Nielsen's "Alert Box" columns, but this is very focused and to the point, and based on a survey of his readers. Must read for anyone who has or plans to have a web site. Tagged by era under 03a, blog, design, erablog, reference, usability, web, 20060619-0123,

The Atlantic Online | July 1945 | As We May Think | Vannevar Bush

era — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 01:25:00 -0400

Classic essay by Vannevar Bush - shared bookmarks predicted in 1945 Oddly prescient, this essay by the father of the U.S. National Science Foundation is deservedly a classic. He speculates about a yet-to-be-invented machine which he calls a "memex" and describes it in a way which sounds a lot like a personal computer. Missing from the picture, but easy to imagine, is the Internet. But the image of scientists making "trails" of annotations and sharing them with each other is closely matched by ... surfers collecting bookmarks, tagging them using ad hoc tags, and sharing them via the internet. The stuff about the "memex" is only towards the end - skip to section 5 if you find the first pages boring. As is my habit, I have linked to the "printer friendly" version of the article. The authoritative location is . There are also various more or less legitimate copies all over the net. Oh, he misspelled "Hollerith". Sorry, couldn't resist noticing.
