Guerrilla usability analyses

Content and usability are inseparable. It may bruise egos to imagine quantifying the success of the writing on a Web site, but it can be done, though admittedly nearly all usability concentrates on success in performing tasks.

You can read some ofttimes-scathing usability critiques here:

• Usability at epinions.com
• Searching at sympatico.ca
• Online job sites, where unusability leads to unemployment

Those guerrilla usability tests are showing their age. We may produce a few more in late 2000.

Other articles

contenu.nu principal Joe Clark boasts nearly 400 published articles. You can look at a full listing of those available online (over 200, on various business and recreational topics) here. You’ll probably be most interested in articles on telecommunications, keyboards (believe it!), accessibility, and, in a recursive note, usability (including hardware products outside the computer field).
