Doing some research on what is hot and what is not, I was inspired to add a new section to the home page for this site: Usability in the News.

The section will have links to two leading stories or articles that are about web usability or design. Content will be semi-periodic, at least once a week.

The Research

Keeping it brief, the research I was doing revealed a breakdown of popular websites by industry. Ordered by importance here are the top 10.

  1. Social Media – sites like Facebook, Twitter, and blogging environments
  2. Search Engines
  3. News
  4. Shopping
  5. Multimedia – Video and music
  6. Services – Banks, Netflix
  7. Portals – ISP home pages
  8. Image hosts
  9. Review Sites
  10. Entertainment
