Headline writing

According to Jakob Nielsen there are five rules that journalists should obey when it comes to headline writing, and in particular, headline writing for the web. They are: 1. Keep it short. Don't use too many words because people read quickly on the internet and want headlines that are short and easy to read.

In Search of Usefulness

A few years ago, I interviewed usability expert Jakob Nielsen about where search might go in the future. He shared an interesting insight:"I think there is a tendency now for a lot of not very useful results to be dredged up that happen to be very popular, like Wikipedia and various blogs.
