| Mar 2, 2012 at 22:11 | comment | added | Niq | @zzzzBov: I believe the two quotes cited here are based on user testing performed by Nielsen and crew, so presumably they have data (albeit not public data) to back their assertions up. He does seem fond of blanket statements, though, so your specific situation may vary. | |

I've spent a significant amount of time reading Nielsen's advice on various topics, however he has a tendency to make blanket statements without providing any rigorous scientific evidence that proves what he says is true (although much of it is highly accurate). | |

Searching has been outsourced to the browser and service providers (google, yahoo, bing, youtube, amazon, newegg, etc) depending on what you're searching for. The internet has come an enormous distance in the last 15 years. | |
