Hoje, 8 de Novembro é o Dia Mundial da Usabilidade.

O tema deste ano são os cuidados de saúde e pretende-se levantar questões relacionadas com o design dos produtos, tecnologias ou dispositivos médicos, e qual o seu impacto na saúde de quem os utiliza.

Em Portugal, a Associação Portuguesa dos Profissionais de Usabilidade assinala este dia com o lançamento oficial do site de protesto "Díficil de Usar". O seu objectivo é recolher testemunhos de objectos/serviços/sites que nos colocam dificuldades no dia a dia. Participe deixando o seu testemunho.

Deixo aqui o vídeo de "kick off" da expert Whitney Quesenbery gravado a partir de Wellington na Nova Zelândia, onde o dia começa primeiro.
