  • Abstract
    As with any potentially disruptive business process, the key starting point for multimedia application development is the users: who are they, and what do they want to do? I examine usability in digital media management, with special attention to searches, which most users employ repeatedly. My insights are drawn from almost a decade of experience with a business-to-business multimedia search application, which has evolved into the photography portal PictureQuest.
