Seems like Jakob is trying to rationalize the shift, and apply is set thinking to the new approach. A classic case of holding on too tight. Some of his counsel applies no matter what you're writing (blogs, billboards, or bumperstickers), but old boy needs to lighten up. I said as much in a recent post on our blog not too long ago: http://inspireaction.mindandmedia.com/index.php/2007/07/10/a-blog-post-even-jakob-nielsen-could-love/ Solid points Tony.

I don't blog about what everyone else is writing about. At least 75% of my content is fresh and new: opinion pieces, how-to pieces, days in my life pieces, what I'm thinking about pieces. I write for a living -- and get paid well for it. I blog for pleasure, to journalize my life, and to help promote my paid writing work. I have a lot of respect for Nielsen. I've quoted him in a book I wrote about building Web sites and in blog posts. But I agree with you: he doesn't quite understand what blogging is all about. Or maybe he's just looking at the wrong blogs. I agree and I DON’T get his high level point.

Not "Jakbo" not "Nielson" or any other variation. This name thing threw me from concentrating on your (I am sure excellent) points so I will have to read this again... Maybe I should read what Jakob Nielsen said first though so I can see what you are getting so worked up about :-) As far as I know was his usability tips always somewhat controversial as well as he is a hardliner or purist or whatever you would call it.
