Hi
I'm about to do a competitive review of a site that's used for finding and
booking training courses, seminars, etc, and would appreciate any suggestions
of sites that handle these sorts of tasks particularly well.
Thanks

Paul, I think your example speaks more to a lack of professionalism on
the part of the previous agency than an inherent conflict of interest.

I am interested in examples of graphical UIs that allow for easy changes in
information metrics. IE easy to change from week to month, from one region

Google has some but I am interested in others.

Hi Sean,
We recently used UsabilityWorks (http://usabilityworks.com) to recruit
34 participants in CA and TX and they did a smash-up job. Everyone
showed up, matching what we were looking for exactly, and ready to
participate in the study. I highly recommend them and we'll continue
to use
Shivan,
Good point about the gallery view - I'm guessing the designers just
left it off for look and feel purposes, not for any valid reason (I
wasn't involved in that aspect at all).
As for the plus icon, the reason we used that is purely for branding.
The site (and magazine) has used the conce

there would be just a handful of search results available to the

For in-person research, we've gone with Davis Recruitment, and they
did a great job.
Outside of agency recruiting, you should also look into recruiting

I guess it also depends on the amount of 'clothing expertise' /
willingness to spend money in the target group of shoppers.
I think my own personal clothing vocabulary gives out after about 12

first place.

I did an analysis by IP address. Around 66% of responses came from US
locations (UK and Canada were 9% and 6% approximately). 'Placket' is a
word that is used in both American and British English. I am not sure
about 'French front'. I started by asking some American friends if they
