WebTV Alertbox

WebTV Alertbox — After Mark Anbinder’s article about the WebTV in TidBITS-367, Keith Instone <[email protected]> wrote to suggest that we check out an article about the WebTV. Written by Jakob Nielsen (a SunSoft Distinguished Engineer) for his Alertbox column, the article looks in detail at the usability factors of the WebTV, and it’s definitely worth reading if you’re considering one. I also encourage you to take a look at Jakob’s other Alertbox columns – I was especially intrigued by his 01-Mar-97 column about the need for speed on the Web, which comes to the conclusion that speed (meaning minimal graphics and multimedia effects) must be the overriding design criterion for Web pages, something we’ve long said here at TidBITS.
