Exploring Users' Experiences of the Web
“Indeed, the three concepts which we described, favourites home page, Web clipping, and the Web card, address problems and concerns which users directly expressed. Their development is grounded in user experiences rather than technical advancement. We would suggest that this improves the chances of these concepts improving users' experiences rather than simply being technology for technology's sake. Moreover, these concepts are based around very simple innovations. It is the very simplicity of the Web that has been part of its success, and any successful innovation must follow that simplicity. Our aim therefore has not been to build large systems which add a level of complexity. As the Web is becoming increasingly prevalent, we believe it will be simple concepts such as these which are likely to bring the greatest benefit to users.”
