Eyetracking Web Usability – review : Cennydd Bowles on user experience

Time to pick sides: Jakob Nielsen has written an eyetracking book. I can scarcely think of a more divisive pairing: mention either within earshot of a UX aficionado and you’re in for impassioned advocacy or scornful ridicule. Me? I’ll confess both subject and author have left me unconvinced in the past, but I approached Nielsen and co-author Kara Pernice’s new book with curiosity and as objective an outlook as I could muster.

I have to admit, I often have a hard time with Jakob Nielsen as well. Well, not with Neilsen per se, but with how badly he is often misquoted and by relying on old studies that don't include current trends. The review above hits on this hard. Looks like I'll be missing this read.
