That said, I approve of, I second, and if you permit me, I third your mild rant about usablity. Moreover, how about clean _functional_ designs do indeed "delight." My recent experience with Pandora.com is one such example. When music.yahoo.com sold out to the corporate b'aches and go rid of my customized music station, I was left searching for something. Pandora, recommended to me by a cooworker, was just what the doctor ordered. Within a few minutes I had created a custom station filled with my favorite artists. What is more, Pandora participates in the music genome project that in effect takes your tastes and compares it to similar music from lyrics to tonal quality to arrament and hundreds of other "music genes." Not only did I get heat my age old favs, but I got suggested somethings that I had NEVER heard that are just fantastic. And all for FREE in a simple, strait forward, easy to use web interface. Hear hear to usabily, and hear hear to functionality.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1650084593084529181/6943951756296254389/comments/default/1040041294433590321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1650084593084529181/6943951756296254389/comments/default/1040041294433590321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.theimes.com/2009/03/i-will-pay-for-usability.html?showComment=1237913040000#c1040041294433590321' title=''/><author><name>Paul Eaklor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08675127550261706505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.theimes.com/2009/03/i-will-pay-for-usability.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650084593084529181.post-6943951756296254389' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1650084593084529181/posts/default/6943951756296254389' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
