Exactly. The title pretty much sums it up, Joshua.

Hohoho, the funny thing is, I’ve played the role of the blue guy so many times :/

This is a good thing. Jakob’s work should edify those who understand how to interpret and apply it, and not be the sweeping edicts that some graphic designers took them to be.

Totally agree as I think he is over rated myself

this is hilarious — i was recently questioning Jakob’s authority on web design after skimming thru one of his (exorbitantly expensive) books. some of the things he says makes sense but I hope people know not to hinge their design principles on this guy’s every word.

I totally agree with RayAna. I’d like to add that with changing trends and looking at the folksonomic growth. As designers let us also use our own intellect, experience & research to judge what is best for a site or application.

I agree with green guy. Who is Jacob?
hahaha, Nice one keep up the good work.
