Jakob Nielsen Links [en]

Despite all the criticism I have heard/read lately on Jakob Nielsen, I have always found his alertbox articles very interesting.
Of course, one has to keep in mind that his standpoint is usability, not web design, and that it is therefore to be taken with a pinch of salt or two.

Here is a little collection of links I have gathered, mostly from his site, a few from other places.

Writing for the web

Other “website” stuff

Phew! I think that’s about it.
Remember, posting these links here doesn’t mean I adhere to everything the articles say. It means I think they are good reading.

Web Peeves and Nice Finds [en]

I’ve been going around a few sites this evening and last. A couple of things bug me:

  • thin grey Verdana text on black backgrounds
  • total lack of capital letters

Apart from that, two nice links I found recently.
First, my friend Mithun from Pune actually started a weblog, and at F2S too! Reading his Cerebral Emissions makes me feel “in touch”, much more than emailing – which neither he nor me manage to do very regularly.

Second, Tangerine Girl – pretty girl, pretty site. Her writing is refreshing, and I really like her pictures. I spent quite some time prowling around her gallery, and I don’t really do picture-gazing very often.

Weblog Open [en]

Here we are. I have an online “journal”. Let’s see what happens.

Yesterday, I posted in the Astounding Websites forum about subject lines.
Thirty minutes later, my suggestion was approved and implemented.
It is quite a strange feeling when a little suggestion, dropped in a space populated by people who have no idea that you exist, has such an immediate and concrete effect.
