Does anyone remember websites?
I do remember those websites. For me, the difference is that now the Web is much more useful, but back then it was a lot more fun. True, you could sometimes waste hours following random links hoping to find something good, but the thrill of discovery when you stumbled across a gold mine of information was a huge part of the appeal.<p>Nowadays, anyone with a basic understanding of search engines can find almost anything they want within seconds. That makes the Web on the whole much more useful, but the thrill of the hunt is gone -- that&#x27;s what Jakob Nielsen was referring to all those years ago when he talked about &quot;information scent&quot;.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nngroup.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;information-scent&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nngroup.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;information-scent&#x2F;</a>
