Jakob Nielsen has recently published his yearly “Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2005”

This is the most interesting experiment. Throughout life, we have been taught to “click” or “press”, in order to get things to work. Obvious examples are door bells, phones, and of course, Web sites.
Now, imagine if someone eliminated the click. You can only point your mouse and do nothing else. No clicking on buttons or links. The mouse cursor, and where you point it to, does the work. Using this site is quite a challenge, and not easy at all.
Don’t Click It is part of a university project by Alex Frank, of Germany. The site records the mouse movement, and studies user’s behaviour. This is a great innovative example, and an excellent topic to be discussed. Does this shed a new light into the subject of Usability? Does it hurt it? I’d love to know your opinion.
Anyone care to join me over tea one of these days?
, de Dan BrownThis is hilarious! If you are thinking about registering a new Domain Name, please think twice. And then think again. Ask someone else to double check. It will save you some grief. Often, what seems like a inoffensive name can turn out to be most embarassing, when in a domain name, with no blank spaces. Check out the Wackiest web names ever. Power-Gen Italia or Power Genitalia? You decide!
