A New Recipe for VirtualGourmet.com
http://www.businessweek.com/cg ... =/ebiz/9912/virtualgourmet.htm
Business Week e.biz first review of common web design challenges.
Peter Morville and Josh Feldman critique the food site and provide graphic design and information architecture advice.
Do not read on an empty stomach, however: the food references could make you sick.
My favorite part is how to use a thesaurus to help people find the right food.
The article is by Joan O'C. Hamilton, December 3, 1999. From Business Week online, ebiz section.

Judging Web Sites: Usability or Criticism?
http://www.eastgate.com/HypertextNow/archives/Merit.html
Compares criticism with usability studies.
Usability testing, performance measurement, and reader surveys are compared in terms of how they each stand as measures of success.
Some good quotes from it:
- A well-advertised Web site is not necessarily a good one.
- Important writing is not necessarily popular
- Readers often claim to like what they believe they ought to like
