Joel on Software - Set Your Priorities

Joel on Software - Set Your Priorities:
"I should have realized that "important" is not a binary thing, it's an analog thing. There are all kinds of different shades of important, and if you try to do everything, you'll never get anything done.
So if you want to get things done, you positively have to understand at any given point in time what is the most important thing to get done right now
....
keeping your desk clean is actually probably a sign that you're not being effective.
....
Don't do features based on what the sales force has inadvertently promised a single customer, and don't do unimportant-slash-fun features first because "you're going to have to do them eventually anyway."

The Power of Default Values (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)

me bør vera på toppen av søkeresultatet...

The Power of Default Values (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox):
"How gullible are Web users? Sadly, the answer seems to be 'very.'
....
42% of users clicked the top search hit, and 8% of users clicked the second hit. So far, no news.
....
second test, ... secretly fed the search results through a script before displaying them to users. This script swapped the order of the top two search hits. In other words, what was originally the number two entry in the search engine's prioritization ended up on top, and the top entry was relegated to second place.

In this swapped condition, users still clicked on the top entry 34% of the time and on the second hit 12% of the time."
