Hi
Mystery meat navigation (MMN) is a term coined and popularized by
author, web designer, and usability analyst Vincent Flanders to describe
user interfaces in websites in which users find it difficult to
recognize the destinations of navigational hyperlinks. In some cases,
users even fail to determine where the hyperlinks are. The typical form
of MMN is represented by menus composed of unrevealing icons that are
replaced with explicative text only when the mouse cursor hovers over them.
