Comment to: Chiara Fox

I really enjoyed your presentation and thought it was very informative. The slides were also excellent. I walked away with a clearer understanding of how and where I fit into the overall design of the user experience.


Comment to: Dan Harrelson

There are a couple of online comic creation tools that could be a quick and easy way to storyboard ideas...

Good Movie about Ethnography

The other design method my group worked on was ethnography -- Geoff did a good job illustrating an ethnographer sitting on top of a ladder observing the subject. This is based on a very interesting and warm-hearted Norwegian/Swedish movie called K...

Good to meet you yesterday!


Comment to: Todd Wilkens

Todd, awesome prezo yesterday!

As mentioned, I'm starting an inventory of remote usability tools (SaaS type web services). Here's a the current list:

http://www.clicktale.com/
http://www.tapefailure.com
http://crazyegg.com/
http://www.robotreplay.com/
http://www.themindcanvas.com/
http://ethnio.com (this from your slides, which I wasn't previously aware of)

http://www.techsmith.com/uservue.asp is sort of a different specie (group-based: user, moderators and observer roles).

I've used crazyegg, only once, but none of the others, yet. I'm going to (this weekend) add this list with a short crazyegg review to another site: http://uxdesign.com - all here are invited to contribute other tools to the list, as well a reviews in the comment thread. I hope this is useful as the number and variety of these tools arrive.

Response to the discussion post:

Sushi!

Ate at Isobune in that Japanese mall next to the hotel - very cool. Sushi comes by on wooden boats floating in a circular canal of water. You just grab anything that looks interesting while the sushi dudes in the middle refill the boats. The place was packed! I'm stuffed and happy.

Comment to: J. Geoffrey Badner

She started there in 1999 as a Information Architect and I think she is a creative directer now.


Comment to: Jay Laney

So smooth and easy; totally less is more; luv it


Comment to: Dan Harrelson

Yeah, I'll be there on Friday. Looking forward to it!


Comment

I did work at ACOM in NYC. From 1995 to 1997 and then again from 1999 to 2000, but I don't recall your friend. I'm bad with names. What did she do there?


Comment to: Miguel Ramos

I believe the generally accepted notion — supported by research — is that since typing is harder for people with Asian languages, they tend to prefer more link-heavy sites that let them get to what they're looking for without typing.

If you haven't seen how you enter Chinese/Japanese scripts on a computer, it might be a rude awakening. I'm sure there are videos of it out there if you do a quick… search. :)


Comment to: chad vavra

I was not aware that they moved. I thought I had just seen her around the office. We didn't work in the same department so I didn't see her often as it was.

Tell her I said hello.


Comment to: Matt Strelecki

I work for iMed Studios, a division of Publicis Healthcare Groupe, which also owns Saatchi and Saatchi... so long explanation to say I work in the Saatchi building on Hudson St., in Greenwich Village.


Comment to: Matt Strelecki

Matt, do you know Diane Dubanski? I work with her husband Steve in New York City and my companies headquarters in is Ames, Ia.


Comment to: Jay Laney

Thanks for setting this site up. Are you coming to the IxD day for sure? Looking forward to seeing you there.


Comment to: Lucian Teo

Hmmm, that's interesting. Can you share some links to examples? It makes me think of link rich website designs. Sometimes a crowded site works if the content is tailored towards the needs of the users, but maybe that's different than clutter (?).


Comment to: Miguel Ramos

Hey Miguel!

Asian websites are often more cluttered than western ones, somehow leading a lot of designers to believe that Asians love clutter.

Odd thing is all this zen thing came from Asia...


Comment to: chad vavra

No, but I did go to a steak and chop fry headlined by Bill Clinton and mc'd by Tom Arnold.
