Understanding People Resources:
Here are some resources to consider when we discuss use, people and patterns in class
Demographics:
- Quantcast provides audience data on top sites, outlining usage patterns and traffic patterns.
- 10 Crucial Consumer trends for 2010: Did they come true? (from Trendwatching.com). Read the "most recent trend briefings" for some ideas on what might make your midterm webpage project interesting.
Use and Use Design:
- Useit.com and the Nielsen Norman Group as mentioned in class.
- The Nielsen wire contains interesting data about usage patterns, such as what Americans do online and how Americans spend mobile Internet time.
- Smashing Magazine provides a nice little list of examples of poor usability, as does the famed and ancient (in web terms), Web Pages that Suck
