Doelstelling: Deze masterproef wil de bruikbaarheid van acht vergelijkbare websites nagaan. Die bruikbaarheid wordt onder meer bepaald door de homepage, hyperlinks en visuele hulp. Aan de hand van de resultaten van een experiment wordt onderzocht of websites gebruiksvriendelijker zijn als de ontwerpers het advies uit de literatuur volgen. Middelen of methode: Er werd een experiment uitgevoerd met zestien proefpersonen die op de websites van acht Europese luchtvaartmaatschappijen moesten zoeken hoeveel kilogram ingecheckte bagage iemand mag meenemen op vluchten binnen Europa. Met behulp van het programma Morae wordt nagegaan of bezoekers bepaalde informatie kunnen vinden op een website en hoeveel seconden en muisklikken ze daarvoor nodig hebben. Resultaten: Uit het experiment blijkt dat LOT de meest gebruiksvriendelijke website heeft. Alle proefpersonen konden op deze site de gevraagde informatie vinden en hadden daar gemiddeld 27,53 seconden en 2,27 muisklikken voor nodig. De website van Air France is de minst gebruiksvriendelijke website. Het experiment bevestigt ook dat websites vaak gebruiksvriendelijker zijn als het advies uit de literatuur gevolgd wordt tijdens het ontwerpproces.

"Links" are among the most basic---and most unexamined---features of online life. Bringing together a prominent array of thinkers from industry and the academy, The Hyperlinked Society addresses a provocative series of questions about the ways in which hyperlinks organize behavior online. How do media producers' considerations of links change the way they approach their work, and how do these considerations in turn affect the ways that audiences consume news and entertainment? What role do economic and political considerations play in information producers' creation of links? How do links shape the size and scope of the public sphere in the digital age? Are hyperlinks "bridging" mechanisms that encourage people to see beyond their personal beliefs to a broader and more diverse world? Or do they simply reinforce existing bonds by encouraging people to ignore social and political perspectives that conflict with their existing interests and beliefs? This pathbreaking collection of essays will be valuable to anyone interested in the now taken for granted connections that structure communication, commerce, and civic discourse in the world of digital media. "This collection provides a broad and deep examination of the social, political, and economic implications of the evolving, web-based media environment. The Hyperlinked Society will be a very useful contribution to the scholarly debate about the role of the internet in modern society, and especially about the interaction between the internet and other media systems in modern society." ---Charles Steinfield, Professor and Chairperson, Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media, Michigan State University Joseph Turow is Robert Lewis Shayon Professor at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania.

Cover image: This graph from Lada Adamic's chapter depicts the link structure of political blogs in the United States. The shapes reflect the blogs, and the colors of the shapes reflect political orientation---red for conservative blogs, blue for liberal ones. The size of each blog reflects the number of blogs that link to it. digitalculturebooks is an imprint of the University of Michigan Press and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library dedicated to publishing innovative and accessible work exploring new media and their impact on society, culture, and scholarly communication.
