Roger Dooley at Neuromarketing reports that in an a effort to add an emotional layer to websites, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the main standards body for the Web, has released a draft for an Emotional Markup Language spec to be used in future web builds.
Emotional Customer Experience On-lineEveryday across the web people are hurt, annoyed or just plain confused by what they read.
