Jared Spool and a couple of other folks at UI Engineering (Christine Perfetti and Joshua Porter) have started Brain Sparks, a new blog on web design, usability, and other interface issues.
It’s interesting how long it’s taking to the traditional, old school usability world to embrace blogs and RSS. Jakob Nielsen doesn’t seem to have any intention to upgrade his “blog” Alertbox to offer RSS (but BoingBoing lists few bootleg RSS feeds for Alertbox as well as a fab five design makeover of the useit.com site). BTW, for an opinionated guy like him, his silence on RSS and blogs it’s also quite interesting. Even Alan Cooper does not offer a feed for his newsletter. I suspect that control and site traffic are the main reasons.
It must be because of Jared’s excessively innovative tendencies that the Usability Professionals Association (UPA) describes him as a bad boy (no, the UPA Voice does not have a RSS feed. I checked).
