About Usability Counts
Usability Counts is a blog run by Patrick Neeman. He is a Principal Consultant, User Experience and Product Strategy at speakTECH. You have probably used a website he has helped design or architect — a claim few Information Architects can make, and some of the companies he’s has worked with include MySpace, Move.com, Orbitz, NewsCorp, Paramount, Stamps.com, Escrow.com, Comcast, Disney, Amgen, Paul Mitchell, Numonyx, Cadence, Wasserman Media Group, eBay and BidRx. Somewhere in there, he was a published writer in print (print!), a published photographer that was appeared on autobytel.com and espn.com, and somehow finds time to meander down to the local pub in Long Beach, California.
Prior to his current position, he built and managed the User Experience practice at speakTECH to a team of 25 of designers, information architects and rich media developers.
(If you must ask, speakTECH is a Microsoft Gold Partner that specializes in MOSS, CRM and BizTalk implementations.)
Patrick has done has his time for the last twelve years in user experience, product management and marketing hell. Before the World Wide Web, he was a magazine art director for what is now Primedia Publishing, Inc., and that was the last time he had a sense of humor.
