Talk:Microcontent

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maybe the term "microcontent" needs a disambiguation: Jakob Nielsen talked about microcontent in very different terms, and the definition came some years before the one by Anil Dash (or web 2.0, for that matter). See his Alertbox (1998): http://www.useit.com/alertbox/980906.html

- that's right, and Anil Dash had been explicitly quoting Jacob Nielsen when giving his own, much more specific and complex definition of the term and concept. since then it has become quite important in the web discourse.

Jacob Nielsen's usage has not made a very great impact, so maybe it is enough to include the history of the term in the full main article (still to be written ), giving there the Nielsen definition too. there would be also a lot of other (though younger) interesting material to discuss.
