Plagiarize

Why
Plagiarism is important because it allows us to create systems that are more familiar to users. This equals easier adoption and higher conversion rates.

What
Plagiarism is a step in Task Centered Design that advocates that we analyze similar products to see what UI elements are already being used.

Strategies

 * Study programs similar to what you are developing
 * It is often better to stick with what users know even if it costs an extra keystroke or two
