Internet Users Judge Web Sites in Less than a Blink

This explains all the clicks that people make to my blog, and log in zero seconds (i.e., immediately close the window when they realize it wasn't AT ALL what they were looking for). Stupid ugly pink template.

Internet users can give Web sites a thumbs up or thumbs down in less than the blink of an eye, according to a study by Canadian researchers. In just a brief one-twentieth of a second -- less than half the time it takes to blink -- people make aesthetic judgments that influence the rest of their experience with an Internet site.
