- Why Wireframing and Prototyping Matter To You
Take a second and think about your internet usage. How much time do you spend online a day? How many emails do you receive a day? How many websites do you visit? If you’re anything like the typical media consumer who spends most of their time online the numbers might astound you. For me I can list the top sites and apps I spend the most time on – Facebook, Pinterest, Gmail, Feedly, CNN, BBC, WCPO, WLWT, Blackboard, and Amazon. I hit up each of these places at least once a day and often multiple times a day & that’s not even including the links off of Facebook, Pinterest, Gmail, and Feedly. Between work, school, and play I average over 100 different websites a day and you’re probably not as far behind as you think.

- There’s A Style Guide for That (Writers)
Authors who specialize in one field of knowledge are sometimes unaware of style guides used in other areas.

AP is targeted specifically to journalists.
