Leaving on a Jet Plane: Good Experience now takes a break as I travel to West Africa for a two-week Habitat for Humanity work project (<http://www.habitat.org>). Assuming the mosquito net holds and my SPF 300 sunblock works, I'll be back posting entries around mid-July.
In the meantime, here's what's going on in online user experience.

- Microsoft's Smart Tags Threaten the User Experience -
(from Thursday, June 21, 2001)
Microsoft's upcoming release of Windows XP contains a feature that attempts to suck all meaningful experience out of every page on the Web. The feature, called Smart Tags, has brought about a loud discussion on many websites -- Web developers everywhere screaming for Microsoft to stop, and Microsoft arrogantly defending itself. This is an important enough issue that I wanted to make sure everyone on Good Experience knows about it.
Walt Mossberg, technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal, broke the Smart Tags story in his June 7 column. Here's what he
wrote:
[Smart Tags] allow Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser --
included in Windows XP -- to turn any word on any Web site into a
link to Microsoft's own Web sites and services, or to any other
sites Microsoft favors.
In effect, Microsoft will be able, through the browser, to
re-edit anybody's site, without the owner's knowledge or
permission, in a way that tempts users to leave and go to a
Microsoft-chosen site -- whether or not that site offers better
information.
Soon after, Dave Winer wrote a column (among others) about Smart Tags. Then Dan Gillmor, at San Jose Mercury News, wrote a column in his weblog. Then Connie Guglielmo wrote a clever, and searing, column in Interactive Week. Several weblogs got into it. Everyone
agreed: Microsoft was in the wrong.

Dave Winer has continued monitoring the discussion and recently posted a defense of Smart Tags sent in by a Microsoft employee:
To suggest that the author knows best how to write effectively to
each individual reader is silly
http://scriptingnews.userland.com/stories/storyReader$1254
...implying, of course, that *Microsoft* knows better than authors how to communicate to their readers. Dave then quoted another reader, who wrote in:
Did Lincoln need Smart Tags in Gettysburg, to speak effectively
to each individual reader? Will Microsoft be Smart Tagging the
Bible? "In the beginning was the Word (<http://www.microsoft.com/office/word/default.htm>)
and the Word (<http://www.microsoft.com/office/xprebate.htm>) was
with God, and the Word (<http://www.microsoft.com/office/evaluation/reviews.htm>)
was God."

This could happen, you know. If Microsoft gains monopoly over the Web, everything -- including John 1:1 -- could be sponsored by Microsoft. And that will be the end of the Web as the last major medium not owned by major corporations.
John 1:1:
http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=JOHN+1:1
To me, this underscores the problem we're beginning to face as Microsoft attempts to extend its self-serving, user-hostile monopoly to the Web. Smart Tags are likely just the first in a series of much bigger threats Microsoft makes to the online user experience. We must try to protect the Web by remaining vigilant to Microsoft's moves. (If you're lucky enough to have a choice, don't use Microsoft
software.)

- Smart Tags Launch -
(from Tuesday, June 26, 2001)
According to DaveNet...
<http://davenet.userland.com/2001/06/25/theMomentWhenTheWebCrossedIntoMicrosoftOwnership>
... Microsoft apparently has decided to *include* Smart Tags in its new product launches. So Microsoft pushes on to serve its own needs, with no regard for the Web or its users, despite vociferous opposition from columnists at the Wall Street Journal, San Jose Mercury News, Interactive Week, and too many weblogs to list here.
Ironically, Microsoft probably won't gain much from Smart Tags. A quick look at Microsoft's own marketing happytalk...
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/preview/smarttags/default.asp
...shows that Smart Tags will only clutter the user experience. (Imagine all the annoying Microsoft Word squigglies invading every page on the Web.) Users will learn to ignore Microsoft's noise, leaving Microsoft no gain; but in the process the overall user experience will suffer, and Web developers will have one big Microsoft mess to clean up. It's a classic lose-lose-lose proposition that only Microsoft could pull off. Oh well.
(To begin the cleanup, The Register shows how developers can disable Smart Tags: <http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/19943.html>
Be prepared to modify every page on your site.)
One might ask why everyone is making such a fuss, if this will just amount to a one-time disaster - perhaps like an oil spill - that will have to be cleaned up. The answer is that Microsoft could cause another disaster, maybe even worse than Smart Tags, at any time. Smart Tags may well be just the beginning of Microsoft's strangling of this new medium.
