[20:30:58] <toad_> Gaming4JC: anyway, if you can do some usability testing with
your un-geeky friends, please do so
[20:31:21] <toad_> Gaming4JC: usability testing = get them to install it, don't
help them unless they get really stuck, record what they have problems with and
what their comments are
[20:31:29] <Gaming4JC> toad_: they usually go blank at the initial interface,
up until they click on Linkageddon... then they scream and uninstall it... -.-
[20:31:44] <toad_> Gaming4JC: :|
[20:31:53] <toad_> Gaming4JC: because linkageddon links to some cp? :|
[20:31:59] <Gaming4JC> yepyep
[20:32:20] <toad_> Gaming4JC: do they try the search box?
[20:32:27] <Gaming4JC> toad_: imo, we need a family friendly index. Pretty much
like AFK index, but more up to date.
[20:32:30] <toad_> Gaming4JC: everyone knows what to do with a search box ...
our problem is ours sucks
[20:32:33] <Gaming4JC> toad_: not that I know of.
[20:32:39] <toad_> Gaming4JC: we have ... AFK :|
[20:32:43] <toad_> and it's out of date yeah
[20:32:56] <Gaming4JC> takes too long to search, people grow bored to fast
[20:33:03] <Gaming4JC> too*
[20:33:05] <Gaming4JC> :P
[20:33:19] <toad_> but in any case, we cannot legally have a policy of "no
child porn"; we have to link to what indexes people make ...
[20:33:44] <Gaming4JC> true, but we should make the initial links more... user
friendly
[20:33:49] <Gaming4JC> and family friendly
[20:33:59] <Gaming4JC> if people want to find crap it's easy enough to get
without an index
[20:34:01] <Gaming4JC> ;P
[20:34:01] <toad_> Gaming4JC: we choose indexes based on usefulness. that
means, a) easy to find what you want and b) hard to find what you don't by
accident
[20:34:21] <toad_> Gaming4JC: i.e. no offensive links without
warnings/descriptions
[20:34:43] <Gaming4JC> toad_: yes, that should be a must. No eye-full suprises.
[20:34:48] <Gaming4JC> description = win. :)
[20:35:45] <toad_> Gaming4JC: so the problem is they don't understand what to
do with it after it's installed?
[20:35:53] <Gaming4JC> toad_: right.
[20:36:26] <Gaming4JC> toad_: Which to me is a little confusing, I found it
easy to find stuff. But most ungeeky friends just don't get it
[20:36:43] <Gaming4JC> maybe GUI needs to be more intuitive.
[20:36:44] <toad_> Gaming4JC: they expect it to look like facebook, i guesS?
[20:36:55] <Gaming4JC> toad_: yeah something like that
[20:36:55] <Gaming4JC> *gag*
[20:36:56] <Gaming4JC> xD
