As a result, some interesting lessons emerge when one looks at how the site’s top-level navigation has changed over the years.

   i went to school with Luke W at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. He was in my three dimensional design class. he was a cocky bastard at the time. i had no idea he would become such an important figure in the design world.

   I believe Jakob Nielsen also picked apart the Amazon tabs system.
