Recognizing Visited Links


Marianne Berkovich recently did an interesting study on users ability to recognize visited links:

"I found that using only value (how light or dark a color is) as the distinguishing factor between the visited and the unvisited color was more effective that using both hue and value." See the full experiment.

Blog Search... can you dig it?

Vince Outlaw's is thinking about Jazz with my Blog Search Tool:

"We just need to get more Jazz webloggers. And speaking of Jazz and weblogging, performing a Jazz search across all of the sites that Lilia reads, leads to a final chance linkage of the night"

...

"And I stumbled further into wonderfully exhilerating ideas when I saw Lilia's search options, especially the one for searching 'Weblogs I read'. What a concept. Being able to search across all of the sites that you read, more often than not to find a link or line that you know you read at one time or another but can't quite find right now. That has happened to me A LOT! So I most definitely followed the little orange ? to see what was up with this."

Google Publications

Google has a new way to encourage smart (academically minded) people to apply.  They've got a list of papers written by Googlers on a wide variety of topics including search engine design, text processing, ai, and User Interface Design.  (found via the Google Weblog)

It's a nice start, but what would be even better, rather than just referencing their own articles, would be to collect links to the seminal papers in their field.  This could help aspiring high school and college Googlites in their educational pursuits.  They certainly have enough expertise, maybe even encourage employees to start domain specific weblogs.  Its a nice idea, but they're probably way to busy shipping products.
