WebTalkGuys Radio Newsletter for September 1, 2002

http://www.webtalkguys.com


Interesting - though not too surprising - fact we learned this week:

A third of spam is porn.  And it's growing by 20% a year.  Just checked my email and there was a photo of a threesome. Yep, the days of email just linking to porn are fading. 55% of all the spam is related to money - reduce debt, get rich quick, gambling...and will Mr. Nintumbo of Nigeria ever realize I'm not going to wire him $10,000 so that he can send me $6 mil?  And to round out the top three types of spam, one word: viagra. 10% of spam is health-related.

Please enjoy this week's show. It's free of porn and we won't try to sell you a bottle of viagra.
~ Happy Listening, Rob and Dana

"Homepage Usability Deconstructed: Best of Breed Website Design Tips, Part 1"
by Dana Greenlee

"Ah, the web page. Your home page is your company's electronic face to the world. It's important to make a good first impression. Most of the time, we’re preoccupied with making our sites work, adding "cool" features, and assembling mounds of content, which has left us forgetting the most important part of the web: the users."

We asked Marie Tahir, co-author along with Jakob Nielsen of "Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstructed". This is Part 1 of 2.

Adobe Premiere is one of the most common video editing software packages on the market today. This is like the Microsoft Office of the video editing world and the choice of many professional and amateur video makers. We talk to the Adobe product manager about Premiere and the state of creating video for the web.
