Media: IT Conversations plays Jakob Nielsen (audio)


Source: IT Conversations, 28 September 2005
Submitted by Ann Light

Larry's World features "Jakob Nielsen, Usability Expert"... hear the man streaming or download him as MP3.

'What I love about Jakob Nielsen is that he's the one that's gonna cut through all the crap when it comes to Flash and animation...' starts our host on Larry's World. I have to warn you that the content following is not new if you've been in the world of website usability for a while, especially if you read Alertbox, Nielsen's column.

But perhaps this is taking his message to a new audience and Nielsen sounds great, though his host is so full of gushing prose that if he were a website, he would be one that might benefit from a little of the Nielsen austerity.
