Notes for 10/20/10

Liu
1. Reading online has affected the way we read altogether--skimming, looking for key words, etc.
2. Online reading causes people to read less intently
3. However advantageous online reading may be, printed reading is still better for in-depth reading.

Nielson
1. Users when reading online never really read, they just skim.
2. Most online readers scan information in an F-shaped pattern
3. People have done experiements to see how people read when subscribing/unsubscribing to websites and when reading

Jerz
1. In order for your website to be successful, it must be easy to navigate.
2. Home links and links to other related pages are better than a back and next page
3. Consistency is key in navigation

Why does my website suck?
1. I use a splash page
2. I use justified text
3. I use cheap clip art (only sometimes!)
