25 reasons why saving time on your intranet is a bad metric » Column Two
october 2008 by jamesmelzer
My other favorite James blasts ROI assumptions about intranet usability improvements. The primary theme is that in most orgs the intranet just isn't important enough to measure in this way. When intranets become a key part of the business (not just for news and policy look-up), then they can be measured alongside end-to-end improvements in biz processes.

Exploring a Web Site’s Visual Accessibility - Beast-Blog.com
november 2007 by jamesmelzer
There's more to web accessibility than accommodating minority users. A good site will also be visually accessible meaning it is well-organized, clear in content and layout, and more. Forgetting the needs of majority users does not a good site make.
