Maki writes... Back in August 2007, usability guru Jakob Nielsen wrote about banner blindness and indicated that plain text, faces and cleavage (or other private body parts) were the three design elements most effective at attracting eyeballs. While Nielsen didn’t examine any popular internet websites specifically, this eye-tracking research holds true in many instances.

i was just discussing this phenomenon with co-workers the other day.
we talked about the use of avatars with cleavage and how that generates more visibility.
sex sells - has been for a long time.

That's freakin clever- doesn't it make you wish you were a sexy woman?  I'm thinking a bit fewer people would use ME as a collabcharacter ;-)  Although I can dance pretty funny.
