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."

    Well I don't like them sequels.

    First Impressions was ok, First Impression And The Son Of Frankenstein wasn't too good but something tells me this First Impression Meets King Kong is going to be just terrible.

    And don't get me started about the musical.

    I think people also get the wrong impression when they see the same story on digg a week before. Perhaps we need some kind of site that merges /. and digg and removes dupes?
