Top 10 Application-Design Mistakes (useit.com)

I think developers often make mistakes on 4 and 5. I know we don't give enough feedback on our site right now, and many times it isn't noticeable enough.

Then number 6 happens almost every time I call on any of my accounts and it is really annoying. Over the phone punch in your whole account number and phone number, then the second you have a representative they immediately ask for your phone number and account number... Which I just gave the system 30 seconds ago. That has annoyed me for years.

I don't think all of these are huge problems all the time, but some reasonable good points are made.


BORING.


digg called, it wants its comment back.

If you have nothing more interesting to say yourself, then please just don't.


I'll jump. The reason I don't like Jakob Nielsen is because I don't think you can be a great usability expert without being a part of the solution - read, he's not a designer or developer.

Read this article to learn all kinds of facts about Jakob Nielsen: http://experiencedynamics.blogs.com/site_search_usability/20...


He's got some valid points, though.
