Usability of Websites for Teenagers

Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox for January 31 is now online at:
   http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20050131.html

Summary:
When using websites, teenagers have a lower success rate than adults and
they're also easily bored. To work for teens, websites must be simple --
but not childish -- and supply plenty of interactive features.

New York Opportunity

We need two more usability professionals to conduct user testing in our
New York City office. Ideal for people who live in the suburbs since it's
typically only necessary to commute to Manhattan once or twice per week
for test sessions or client meetings.

If interested, send resume to [email protected] before February 8
