WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: August 09, 2003 Long regarded as the 'king of usability' -- "Ultimately, we all need to take our own fate in our own hands and demand usability. Refuse to use Web sites that are complex or that pop up too many annoying ads. Only buy consumer electronics products that have been reviewed as being easy to use. Vote for politicians who promise to simplify the tax forms." (Mac Comments: Vote for me ! I'm very usable ! - Thanks Jason )

I would be all for a national blitz on simplifying the tax code, if it wasn't for the principle of unintended consequences. The tax code certainly is a disgrace, even worse than MS software for bloat and complexity. Jakob's economic ideas sound right to me. Use what little free-market there actually is to vote for usability in your purchases (That's why there'll be no high-end BMW i-drive for me!). And the form of micropayments known as monthly fees sure work for the cable company. Posted by: Ralph on August 11, 2003 12:41 PM
