First Impressions Count in Website Design
Andy King writes "Web designers have as little as 50 milliseconds to capture the interest of potential customers, according a new report by researchers at Carleton University. Through the halo effect, first impressions can influence subsequent judgments of website credibility and buying decisions."
How much it takes to look at previous accepted news in editors mind to see if it has been accepted before?! Where is thier brain cells, are theey all, "We are down here!!!"
Or 4) They have little time and make human mistakes.
Yes, I agree that trupes are awful enough to warrant some negative feedback, but let's remain realistic here.
Screw up once its a mistake. (forgivable)
Screw up twice, you forgot or your a dumbass or a moron (forgivable)
Screw up three times, its a pattern.
Screw up on the same article 3x on at least 3 different occasions. Its a habit.
This goes with any simple human behavior. After 3 to 4x dumb stuff, a girl goes from a girlfriend to either an ex or if they are good, someone I just wanna have sex with, but my time is too important to keep repeating and suffering through the same crap over and over again.
I come to slashdot to comment and others comments. 99% of the work is already done by the readers. Having the other 1% at least rarely error prone is not expecting too much, being that they are paid to do the job, and we directly and/or indirectly pay them.
