He goes on to suggest that content-driven websites (ie, websites that are not also applications) do not particularly need usability, so long as the humans can get at (and, I presume, add to) the content.
Obviously, I'm in the middle of product design with ReComputing, and I've asked myself on more than one occasion how I see the user interacting with the Internet, and, consequently, with other users. This is an interesting question that I had never thought about before, so I might take some time to consider it. Does social interface design only apply to ReComputing's networking utilities? How do I effect seamless data sharing and cooperative authoring, given a metadata-driven file taxonomy, for instance?
Hmm...
