Hi all -
I'm working on a project to help small companies more effectively do quick
and dirty user research.
Looking for volunteers to either:
- share past surveys with me (send me the questions, feel free to
anonymize specific details) OR
- have a 5-10 minute conversation (via email,
We'll be discussing _The Back of the Napkin_ by Dan Roam. I'll bring pens
and paper so we can sketch out some concepts.
But please come by even if you haven't read it! It's an important time to
stay in touch with contacts and meet new ones.
WHEN: TODAY, Weds Feb 4 at 7:30pm
WHERE: Three Bees
Numbers are great. Most designers should embrace them more, and claw and
scream for more metrics where there are none.
BUT - they offer no starting point. You have to put something out there for
people to react to in the first place. And it's more efficient to have a
well-reasoned first guess
Bookmooch.com supports non-US users.
Anyone who signs up may choose whether to send only within their country or
to anywhere. Requesting a book from another country costs twice as many
credits and the sender receives twice as many credits, to compensate for the
additional postage costs.

Thanks Christina! I'm looking forward to the first meeting next week.
I've created a Facebook group at

figure out how to go from here.

ANSWER:
- How has UI made the difference in the success of product

- How and when can UI work with stakeholders to produce better results?
ASK:
- What problems do you have that UI can potentially help you with?
Short and simple.
Have you used a vendor to purchase a survey audience?
If so, who?
Did they provide the incentive to the survey takers or did you?
Were you satisfied with how much you could target your desired
demographic?
Please reply offline and I'll compile a list of results. The only company

I've worked on a white-labeled product for a few years now, and here's what
we do:
- Perform user testing on your product AT the customer site - recruit
consumers who use Company X and test Company X's product (be honest that you
are not testing on behalf of Company X, maybe say you
Mint is definitely free. They use my company (Yodlee)'s technology but
they've built a much better skin on top.

I talked to someone at LiveScribe and the pens are shipping now. :)
Hopefully the wait won't be much longer!

In your case, we would use pattern recognition, and
in my case, we would simply assume that all posts are potential source
of noise.
That is exactly the important difference - assuming that all posts are
potentially noise. How disrespectful to the user!
The thing is, no one thinks

WOW. I missed Dave's original comment and all I can say is, wow. I'm
certainly glad that my early jobs didn't seek to protect me from learning
a lot, and quickly.
There are certainly some things I wouldn't throw at junior staff.
High-pressure client-facing meetings is one of them.

I'd agree with that. Lots of products don't make it to market for reasons
well beyond the designer's control - and lots of products have a finished
state that was nothing like the designer's intent because of exec ex
machina. HOW you worked - researched, prioritized, sketched, tested -
