At Synaptic Burn, David Heller offers some examples of why the usability meter climbs into the "Sucks" zone in Lotus Notes.
Do you guys see what I see in the tool tip? It actually says “Widget Icon”!!!!!!!
Holy Cow! My design team here at work had to take 10 minutes of laughing hysterically.
Now, some of the other great tooltips we saw were:
For the paper clip which usually means that there is an attachment with the message, it says, “Paperclip Icon.”
For the exclamation point that means that a message is high priority, the tool tip says, “Exclamation Point Icon.”
