[Sigia-l] Ebay - fact or fiction?

[Dave Collins]

"If they'd flipped a switch and gone from yellow to white, everyone 
would have screamed," said eBay senior usability engineer Laura Borns. 
"But no one had any complaints about it, because it was so gradual.""

In other words, they didn't abrubptly switch from yellow to white.


Looks like Urban-Legend-ism at work here. It would be so much better a
story if they really *had* gone and made the switch and users screamed.
 
Alternately, it could be true and it's the ebay people spinning the
story their own way...
