Seven tricks that Web users don't know

I fully share Carolyn Synder thoughts in this article. A lot of users don't have all the knowledge developers can have and usability should improve (don't worry I am part of this crowd :-))

Seven misconceptions on web user behavior:

1. Logos that link to the home page
2. Concepts of security vs. privacy
3. Rollover menus
4. Arrow keys and drop-down lists
5. Navigation by hacking URLs
6. Knowledge of browser controls
7. Second browser windows

Ouch ! It hurts ! Read the article here

  • I recommend the book 'Don't make me think' by Steve Krug, this is by far the most accesible usability book I've ever found, we bought quite a few copies for the office a few months ago.
