Weblog Usability: The Top Ten Design Mistakes (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)

Weblog Usability: The Top Ten Design Mistakes (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox) Weblog Usability: The Top Ten Design Mistakes Summary: Weblogs are often too internally focused and ignore key usability issues, making it hard for new readers to understand the site and trust the author. Top Ten Design Mistakes Weblog Usability: The Top Ten Design Mistakes (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox) 10. Having a Domain Name Owned by a Weblog Service Having a weblog address ending in blogspot.com, typepad.com, etc. will soon be the equivalent of having an @aol.com email address or a Geocities website: the mark of a naïve beginner who shouldn't be taken too seriously. Letting somebody else own your name means that they own your destiny on the Internet. They can degrade the service quality as much as they want. They can increase the price as much as they want. They can add atop your content as many pop-ups, blinking banners, or other user-repelling advertising techniques as they want. They can promote your competitor's offers on your pages. Yes, you can walk, but at the cost of your loyal readers, links you've attracted from other sites, and your search engine ranking. The longer you stay at someone else's domain name, the higher the cost of going independent. Yes, it's tempting to start a new weblog on one of the services that offer free accounts. It's easy, it's quick, and it's obviously cheap. But it only costs $8 per year to get your personal domain name and own your own future. As soon as you realize you're serious about blogging, move it away from a domain name that's controlled by somebody else. The longer you delay, the more pain you'll feel when you finally make the move. Funny Quotes Love Quotes Life Quotes Famous Quotes Christmas Quotes

John Gugliotta and the Search Engines Highly Publicized Lawsuit by Inventor Overturned; Search Engines Point to Old Web Sites

John Gugliotta and the Search Engines Highly Publicized Lawsuit by Inventor Overturned; Search Engines Point to Old Web Sites; Continue To Promote Inaccurate Information AKRON, Ohio Oct. 4, 2005--In August 2002, the Akron Beacon Journal publicized a case ruling against a local patent attorney, but the case was later overturned on appeal. Although the win for John Gugliotta feels good, the victory is bittersweet. Gugliotta, a well known patent attorney in Akron who has worked with thousands of inventors all over the world, still continues to be haunted by the old information in the lawsuit in the search engines. "Old inaccurate information doesn't get updated on many of the web sites following a reversal by the courts," explained Gugliotta. "When someone searches the words 'invention, patent attorney, Gugliotta', old, erroneous information about the lawsuit appears and provides an inaccurate representation of my service." There were seven assignments of error brought before the Ohio Court of Appeals Ninth Judicial District Court. The court ruled in Gugliotta's favor for the majority of the items. The 33 page ruling document dated May 25, 2005 concludes, "The judgment of the Summit County Court of Common Pleas is reversed and remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion." A full transcript of all the details of the ruling is available at http://www.sconet.state.oh.us/rod/newpdf/9/2005/2005-ohio-2570.pdf . Because of the power of Google caches and several of the high profile web sites, including the area daily newspaper Akron Beacon Journal, the negative story from almost three years ago continues to remain high in the search engines. Unfortunately, the real facts are buried in court documents and missing from the popular search engines. This is a problem for Gugliotta because some inventors who may be considering using his services might get the wrong impression from a single, inaccurately described event. "While I do believe in our legal system, there are other real problems that can result from someone's unreasonable pursuit of a complaint," Gugliotta said. "Some people want to blame me for the failure of their inventions, but not every idea can be successful." "In general, more than half of all patents are not allowed," estimated Gugliotta. "However that is not a reason to sue those patent attorneys who represented those concepts. This type of malicious prosecution is an extreme and completely out of the ordinary. " He notes that, although this event has caused some damage to his personal and professional life, his reputation is still in tack with those who look beyond the headlines. "There are many satisfied and successful clients I am working with, and more successes are occurring all of the time. It is just harder to get media exposure for the good things we are accomplishing here," he added. Gugliotta successfully prepares patent applications for individuals internationally, with a heavy concentration on small entities from Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania from his offices in Northeast Ohio. Over the past 13 years applying for patents, he has added expertise in chemical, mechanical, electronic and business systems areas. Gugliotta is licensed to practice law before the United States Supreme Court, State of Ohio Courts, the Federal Northern District of Ohio and the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as well as being a Registered Professional Engineer.
