Commentary on top 10 blog usability mistakes - forgetting that you write for your future boss
Forgetting that you write for your future boss gets the ninth place in the Jakob Nielsens top 10 blog usability mistakes list from 2005. Write anything into internet and it can be found quite easily. Even if writing is modified the originals can sometimes be found from Google caches, archive.org archives or other similar sites. So in case you want to get name and fame or think that your current or future boss or colleagues might get curious, it is good idea to think carefully what and how you write into internet and perhaps make a search using your name to find out where your name pops up. Of course you can write anonymously, with pseudonym or just with fake name. While there is nothing wrong with this kind of advice and certainly blog writers would be fools not to think with what kind of things and issues they want their real names to be associated with, I have to again respectfully disagree here that this advice would have much to do with usability. So think what kind of image you want to give for those who google your name but it has more to do about creating a professional public image than about usability.
