A few people whose stuff I like

A few people who's stuff I like a lot:

  • Ed Vielmetti (Vacuum web log)
    I worked with Ed when I was back at CICNet; he was into Gopher, the Web, and if my recollection is right, conference software long before it was fashionable. I get Ed's periodic Vacuum emails that keep me up with what he's doing.  I relate to Ed more these days, because Ed was out of a job for quite some time after he was laid off from Cisco. But he's starting this next week at Arbor Networks, so perhaps there's hope for me as well.
  • Jon Udell (Jon's Radio)
    Jon has been on the collaborative technology trail for ages, and he writes lots of good stuff.
  • Lou Rosenfeld (Bloug)
    I probably met Lou when I worked at CICNet.  He's the co-author of  Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, which next to Jakob Nielson's book design web simplicity is one of the best books on web design.  Plus, as you would expect, his site is just plain beautiful.
  • Jakob Nielson (useit.com)
    You won't find much personal about Jakob on his site, but he has more practical information about building usable web sites than almost anyone else I've read.
  • Bob Frankston and friends (SATN)
    A very nicely done weblog updated by Bob Frankston (co-inventor of VisiCalc) and friends.  Very well written.
