Jakob Nielsen

Jakob Nielsen, Ph.D., is a User Advocate and principal of the Nielsen Norman Group, which he co-founded with Dr. Donald A. Norman (former VP of research at Apple Computer). Until 1998, Dr. Nielsen was a Sun Microsystems Distinguished Engineer and led that company's Web usability efforts starting with the original design of SunWeb in early 1994.

Nielsen's Alertbox column about Web usability has been published on the Internet since 1995 and currently has about 200,000 readers.

Amongst other things, Jakob Nielsen has been called "the king of usability" (Internet Magazine), "the guru of Web page usability" (The New York Times), and an "eminent Web usability guru" (CNN).

Love him or loathe him, his contributions to the internet debate, particularly on the subject of Flash, have made him infamous and raised the important issue of usability amongst web designers.
