Boing Boing Staging

Paramilitary wing of the usability movement

Over at NTK, they’ve established “the paramilitary wing of the usability movement.” Think of this as Shoemakers’ Elves who taking marching orders from Edward Tufte. NTK has called on usability engineers to find themselves egregiously unusable websites whose information is nonetheless important, to scrape these websites, and to redesign them so that they don’t suck. Check out the before and after — we get loads of complaints about the Boing Boing layout, and we syndicate almost everything on this page with RSS. I’ve seen a couple of neat experiments in page-redesign from readers, but why not do more? Go ahead, remix us. Post links to the Discuss area.
