Navigation blindness

GUUUI - Navigation blindness: "It is quite fascinating how people can focus at a task at hand and totally exclude everything else in their surroundings. A study carried out by Daniel Simons at Harvard University illustrates this phenomenon very well. A number of volunteers watched a 30-second video starring three basketball players wearing black T-shirts and three wearing white ones. The viewers were told to count the number of passes made by one of the teams. Halfway through the film, a man dressed as a gorilla jumped into the middle of the picture, beat his chest at the camera, and walked away. Afterwards the viewers where asked whether they had seen anything unusual. Astonishingly, only a very few put their hand up. The rest had been so fixated on counting the passes that they completely missed the hairy interloper."

I like this rule:

Jared Spool has formulated what he calls the Move-Forward-Until-Found Rule:

"...a web page can do only one of two things: either it contains the content the user wants or it contains the links to get them to the content they want. If a page doesn't follow this rule, then the users stop clicking..." (from the article The Right Trigger Words)

Computer queen Carly crashes

Computer queen Carly crashes - Business - www.smh.com.au: "50, HP's first outside leader, took over in 1999 with a mandate to revitalize Silicon Valley's original start-up, founded in 1938. HP had become known for an insular and balkanized corporate culture celebrated internally as 'The HP Way.'
But the record under Fiorina remained spotty, with HP dashing investor hopes in three of the last nine quarters as it lost market share to rivals Dell and IBM."

NewGroup in my blog!

The one thing I had against blogs was the extra steps to read them. Most everything comes to email, and I surf way too much as it is.

But now I've found
