Informavores will keep clicking as long as they sense (to mix metaphors) that they're "getting warmer" -- the scent must keep getting stronger and stronger, or people give up. Progress must seem rapid enough to be worth the predicted effort required to reach the destination." - Jakob Nielsen, Alertbox, "Information Foraging: Why Google Makes People Leave Your Site Faster" [http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20030630.html] Submitted by: Sid Sidner Jul. 3, 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------- Send quotation submissions to quotationoftheday at yahoo.ca Send list changes or requests to quotationoftheday_request at yahoo.ca http://ca.geocities.com/quotationoftheday/index.html To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body "unsubscribe man-bytes-dog" (the subject is ignored).
