]]> Comment on Apple Newton by NUri Djavit http://lastexitblog.com/2008/11/03/apple-newton/#comment-931 NUri Djavit Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:07:17 +0000 http://lastexitblog.com/?p=265#comment-931 I'm not sure how I feel about this. Replacing our encumbering filofaxes with digital tools was fantastic back in the 90's but now we have very capable smart phones. As you say, it might fill that gap between your Mac Book Pro and iPhone, but surely the Air does very good job of that? Regardless, very exciting to see if they do release one and doubtless I'll buy one - just to add to my growing mountain of Apple products. I’m not sure how I feel about this.

Without doubt users in general are becomming more sophisticated - they are thinking more and searching better. Unless you are running a youth-only-brand however I would still advise any client to ‘accomodate the less sophisticated’ whenever possible. As with good site information architecture, it is surely better that someone gets to what they want via one of a number of routes as opposed to not arriving at all? I would enjoy debating this further if people feel otherwise though! Gary Lockton I think the safest approach is still probably to aim for and think about the less savvy user by default?

In my experience that's the case. What the solution? Different level approaches or just aiming towards the new generation of consumers coming through? Great post, but are you also seeing a generational gap in Search i.e. young people tend to be much more savvy in finding web information?

In my experience that’s the case. What the solution? Different level approaches or just aiming towards the new generation of consumers coming through?

What is more a look at some of the postings by Google’s Matt Cutts (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/) makes pretty clear that his company’s mission is to concentrate on aligning search results directly with end-user value, hence their continued work to decipher subject matter from within video, audio, Flash etc. as well as from the written word. More than a simple ‘hygiene’ focus on off-page factors leaves SEO open to abuse by technical ‘pirates’ as was seen a few years ago with page meta-data for example! Hi Connie,
