Dont Make Me Think Revisited A Common Sense Approach To Web Usability 3rd Edition Voices That
Hundreds of thousands of Web designers and developers have relied on usability guru Steve Krug's guide to understand the principles of intuitive navigation and information design. Witty, commonsensical, and eminently practical, it's one of the best loved and most recommended books on the subject. It's a core foundational book that every Web designer must internalize to make their designs truly effective. In this substantially revised edition, Steve returns with fresh perspective to reconsider the principles he originally laid out--commenting, amending, amplifying, and offering fresh new examples to underscore their importance. This edition adds an important new chapter on mobile as well as integrating coverage of mobile throughout.
I have noticed that some people seem to think that a common type of nonsense bot is a legitimate user, and I want to ask why? The bot has repeatedly targeted the site, this being at least the fourth time it has appeared since I started watching the RC sometime in May. It is not limited to one IP, and repeats the same nonsense over a few days. The exact phrase is "Hello. And Bye." and it has been exactly the same since I first saw it. Google the phrase, or the IPs, and you will notice one thing come up again and again, spam. Please don't presume innocence here, as it is quite clearly a nonsense bot, posting nonsense that can be traced back to (at least) 2006. If anyone with rights feels up to it, could they create an abuse filter for this. If you still feel unsure, just set the filter to tag it, and it will soon fill up, so you can see how common it is.
