			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a great little plugin for Firefox that makes the browser display sites as if it were a mobile browser. I have used user agent switchers to check Safari and IE in Firefox but this is the first time I have been able to do it for Japanese mobile phones.</p>
<p>The user agent switcher can be found here:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321350316">Prioritizing Web Usability</a> Jacob Nielsen and Hoa Loranger&#8217;s new book present design principles that increase web usability. This is an easy read luckily because I was so amazed by all the information presented that I read some of the chapters twice.</p>
<p>One point that amazed me was about scrolling. According to their research only 23% of users scroll down a website&#8217;s content. If users enter a site from the search engine, they will scan what is visable &#8212; without scrolling &#8212; if they don&#8217;t see what they are looking for, they click on the back button on the browser and return to the search engine results.</p>
<p>Regarding site design, they recommend:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support short visits; be a snack [to the information hunters].</li>
<li>Encourage users to return; use strategies such as newsletters as reminders.</li>
<li>Emphasize search engine visibility and other ways of increasing frequent visits by addressing users&#8217; immediate needs.</li>
</ul>
<p>This makes sense with the research results showing that web users do not have the patience to scroll anymore.</p>
<p>This book is excellent. I can&#8217;t write everything I learned here&#8211;there is not enough space. I highly recommend it to other web design and online marketing professionals.</p>
