Before I get started, let me say I’m not a designer offended by usability testing thinking it takes something away from my “art”. (I’ve done the art thing in a previous life) This post is about poor thinking taking away from what could be interesting usability findings.
Jacob Neilson it’s fair to say is Web 1.0, much like IE6 he made a significant contribution but has possibly not moved quite enough with the times. And much like everybody’s least favourite browser he is also still used be a lot of people. So I keep up to date on what he says in his Alert Box columns; sooner of later someone will quote them at me (and to be fair they often do have nuggets of decent information).
