Well this time we are looking at Jakob Nielsen, the "guru of internet usability", so the claim goes. I went to his site ( www.useit.com) and oddly enough I find his website does not hold up to all the hype. I don't like that I have to scroll down quite a ways and there are so many links on the page that it makes up the greater part of the site.
While there is a small bio for the man, there is much more about what people call him and what his professional background is. There is nothing on this main page that gives me a sense of who the man is. There are no particular reasons given as to why one should abide by his statements - you have to read through a plethora of linked articles etc to find out anything. I find this to go against what we are being taught in class. There is no real reason given as to why I should look at the links other than because our class instructor said so (almost reminds me of my Mom many years ago!)
TaTa for now
