Peter Steen Høgenhaug, suggesting we consider using something other than the ubiquitous link icon for inserting hypertext links in an application:
All in all, only 35.29% of the test participants understood the chain icon, and only 25% understood the globe icon. While we didn’t set a minimum for success, clearly, 25% is not good when it comes to usability. When being interviewed one of our participants asked:

You know how it smells after it rains? That clean, greenish smell when rain lands on dry ground? That’s petrichor, from the Greek petra (stone) and ichor (the blood of Greek gods and goddesses). The term was coined by two Australian researchers in 1964.
Omg. I didn’t even know you were pregnant! He’s edible. Beautiful!
Thanks, I’ve kind of been pregnant for the last 2years. This guy’s older brother is only 16 months old (and just as cute!).
Now let me tell you how excited I am NOT to be pregnant anymore…seriously.
