			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few articles we&#8217;ve enjoyed over the past week or so.</p>
<h3>Articles</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://new.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2009/10/usability-testing-versus-expert-reviews.php"><strong>Usability Testing Versus Expert Reviews</strong></a><br />
When should you do <a href="http://www.agconsult.be/en/usability/users.asp">user testing</a> and when an <a href="http://www.agconsult.be/en/usability/expertreview.asp">expert review</a>?  9 usability experts share their experiences. If you only read 1 article out of all our suggestions, read this one.</p>
<div></div>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.gerrymcgovern.com/nt/2009/nt-2009-10-26-Links-new-yorkers.htm#"><strong>Links are New Yorkers (Writing great web links)</strong></a><br />
Gerry McGovern is right most of the time. And he&#8217;s always right when he talks about links. Links should be signposts that show the user the shortest way to fulfilling his task. We agree.</p>
<div></div>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.uie.com/articles/moderating_multiple_personalities"><strong>Moderating with Multiple Personalities: 3 Roles for Facilitating Usability Tests</strong></a><br />
Good article by Jared Spool on the qualities a good user test moderator should have. He or she should be a flight attendant, sportscaster and scientist all in one. Sounds like a strange combination? Maybe, but it&#8217;s true&#8230;</p>
<div></div>
</li>
<li><a title="Permanent Link to Designing with Data" rel="bookmark" href="http://usability-blog.be/blog/2009/10/19/designing_with_data/"><strong>Designing with Data</strong></a><br />
Interesting article on the role of statistical analysis in the design process.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Quote</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;OMG! What Have I Done?&#8221; &#8211; Tim Berners-Lee&#8217;s reaction after getting a Twitter-account. (Well, according to Jared Spool. ) </li>
</ul>

None of these annoying habits are of course yours, dear reader. Not one.</li>
