Some more commentary on this now infamous cartoon:

No Laughing Matter from Inside Higher Ed

“The punch line ? that university website designers have no idea what their visitors actually want front and center ? has hit close enough to home to create a lot of buzz elsewhere on the Web. According to the link-tracking site Bit.ly, the cartoon had been shared nearly 8,000 times, been ?liked? nearly 7,500 times, and garnered more than 5,500 comments on Facebook as of Tuesday evening.”

I know that this has echoed when some saw library websites as having similar issues. That’s good if this moves the discussion along – which it has.
