Jakob Nielsen's Article

The Jazz site was one that could definitely use some work to grab the users attention. The content was not relevant in my eyes. For instance, the picture of the men was not very "catchable" in a sense it felt as if it was a promo for a Ballerina Show for women. The ideas provided by Nielsen were good and relevant to help catch the users attention.
The New York Times site is essentially like the VC Star homepage in that everything seems cluttered, at least that's what I got out of what Jakob was talking about. The site is just like a newspaper, it contains too much information with nothing catching about it.
The specialized site was one that was much more catching to the users eye but Nielsen stated otherwise. I think that making the site 3D is much more exciting than looking at an ordinary site and it helps to keep the user intrigued to the site.
