I wrote about the importance of simplicity before but here is another reason why you should believe me. :)
Keep this in mind the next time you design a service or a product. The simpler the better.

Antiks responds:Ever heard of Jacob Nielson?
pdp responds:nope, but thanks for the link…
infamousjeff responds:If only the people at a certain notorious E-voting machine company had seen that post. The “Your company’s app” looks spartan compared to the .NET+Access(i wish i were joking) puke inducing, bleeding eyeball design that was used.
There’s something to be said for simple, clear, clean web pages. I cannot tell you how many website I run across that ignore simplicity in favor of complexity.
