He can take his Alertbox and shove it up his Ahole.

in all honestly I have always found his site to be one of the least usable websites I have ever seen. Unreadable, the line spacing disgusts me, can't fucking focus on anything coz there's huge and random underlined blue words all across his site. You don't know where shit starts or ends. It's plain and simple claustrophobic.
Dude needs to get out more and attend some night courses on usability.

Agreed, his site makes my eyes sore and surely that in itself is a usability issue.

To answer your question bezul555, many, many people listen to what Jakob has to say. He is one of the leading figures in the broad area of usability. His testing and research is of incredible value and often considered and cited by leading designers.
Vrmbr, any digital design studio worth their salt would love to have someone of Jakobs calibire work with them. His knowledge and understanding would prove invaluable.
Graham, I think you completely misunderstand him if you think he is anti design. His research helps you create better designs/interfaces/applications...
You all should consider what you want to say before making childish comments.

i basically lost about 2000% respect for him as both a person, and a 'professional' when he told me, personally, to my face; "your design capabilities will not ever really be pushed to excellence if you do not buy and read my book......"
....this said, in the forum of an event the group i was with was sponsoring to host and quasi-promote him.
he blew my mind.
