Hi all, Today I'm struggling with an issue I'm hoping you can help with. We are trying to rename the section of a very large, multi-language, retail site that contains user-generated content (blogs, wikis, forums, etc.) because an executive does not like that it is currently called "Community". Yes, I know this is not why you should mess with site nomenclature but welcome to my reality. He's given no reason for his dislike other than "I don't like it".
I did a quick audit and it seems that "Community" is a very widely used term on prominent sites (Amazon, Ebay, etc.), however this did not sway said executive's opinion. So now I'm seeking research data (actual hard numbers) that either supports the use of "Community" as a user-friendly concept or offers other naming options that are supported by user research. Anyone have any suggestions? The process of educating people outside of our UX world about the importance of user-centric design is never-ending, isn't it. Thanks in advance, Stephanie Walker Information Architect Austin, TX PS.
