Why I like Amazon.com

Nielsen and Loranger’s Prioritizing Web Usability has many concrete applications in my daily life. Had I read this book a year ago, I would have known not to side with colleagues who felt their creative freedom was under attack because the college web pages were being standardized. I’ve learned about various things I have being doing incorrectly on the Internet as well. It seems one of the subjects under observation may well have been me, at least on page 68 (see description of inept multiple window manipulator). Now I will know how to view the hotel pool at the Marriott without freezing my computer. Most informative of all, I can now explain some obsessive behaviors of late. Apparently,
the reason I so quickly forked over $40 for a pair of Victorian lace-up boots (note: these were not for me; my daughter needed for them for a school play) is because of the interior link the search engine brought me to (see page 29). And the preponderance of brown cartons arriving at my doorstep this week from Amazon (many of them books for this class) can be blamed on my skill in loading the shopping cart.
