Hi fabrizio,

No jokes -- I was indicating that the 'concept' of findability is just a
useless addition because it is already a consequence of Jakob's
'scannability' -->

http://www.useit.com/alertbox/whyscanning.html

i.e. You must first 'seek/scan' in order to 'find'


'Findability' is just a marketing ploy.

If you KNOW 'scannability' there is no need to know 'findability' since
'finding' is a *consequence* of seeking/scanning (i.e. if you don't
seek/scan you will NEVER 'find' anything). Therefore, there is no need
to translate concepts into other languages which only confuse and
complicate.


Be Well, Derek
