Re: [WISPA] Awkward.. i agree

2005-08-16 Thread Tom DeReggi



Robert, 

You may have misunderstood. Entering my sites 
is NOT awkward for me, and I do not mind the proceedure. I am a technical 
person, intuitive to figure it out, and worth my time to enter once, regardless 
if awkward, for the advantage of many to open easilly.

My complaint, was for prospects to find my info 
after it was entered, was awkward for them. If it is awkward for the 
porspect, they won't spend the time to locate all the possible cell site 
locations available to them.My concern is strictly about improving 
the ease and accuracy for the prospect to find the data on the map. That 
is whereimprovements are needed most.

I agree that your project is comming along well, 
and I appreciate your contribution. My comments are strictly meant as helpful 
criticism so it may continue to evolve.

Which is what my original post was about as well.  I do not have a problem with how to enter, though I hope I can edit soon.  It is a pain for the potential customer.  I always tell the programmers that have worked for me, I do not care how hard it is for you, it MUST be easy for the user.  Same here, doesn't have to be super easy for me to get my sites listed, but the potential customer should not have to work to find me.

Re: [WISPA] Awkward.. i agree

2005-08-16 Thread Scott Reed




Some are typists, some are clickers.  Clickers don't type.  Not too hard to click on a state, click on a city and be close to home.  Just need to be able to see the WISPs that are in town.
I realize that you have drop downs for the cities, but as someone mentioned before, if I list my WISP as Richmond, then people in Webster, Williamsburg, Fountain City, Whitewater, Middlebourogh, Boston, Centerville, Mineral Springs, Cambridge City, Penville, Milton, Hagerstown, Greensfork, ... may not find me.  And that is in a 10 to 15 mile circle.  If they click on their town and get a 25 mile map with markers, they found me.  If they put in their own zip, they may not find me.

Not too hard to click on a state, click on a city and be close to 
home. Just need to be able to see the WISPs that are in town. I 
realize that you have drop downs for the cities, but as someone mentioned 
before, if I list my WISP as Richmond, then people in Webster, Williamsburg, 
Fountain City, Whitewater, Middlebourogh, Boston, Centerville, Mineral 
Springs, Cambridge City, Penville, Milton, Hagerstown, Greensfork, ... may 
not find me. And that is in a 10 to 15 mile circle. If they 
click on their town and get a 25 mile map with markers, they found me. 
If they put in their own zip, they may not find me. Scott Reed Owner NewWays Wireless Networking

Which is what my original post was about as well. I do not 
  have a problem with how to enter, though I hope I can edit soon. It 
  is a pain for the potential customer. I always tell the programmers 
  that have worked for me, "I do not care how hard it is for you, it MUST be 
  easy for the user". Same here, doesn't have to be super easy for me 
  to get my sites listed, but the potential customer should not have to work

   Robert,
You may have misunderstood. 
  Entering my sites is NOT awkward for me, and I do not mind the proceedure. 
  I am a technical person, intuitive to figure it out, and worth my time to 
  enter once, regardless if awkward, for the advantage of many to open 
  easilly.  My complaint, was for prospects to find my info after it was 
  entered, was awkward for them. If it is awkward for the porspect, 
  they won't spend the time to locate all the possible cell site locations 
  available to them.My concern is strictly about improving the 
  ease and accuracy for the prospect to find the data on the map. That 
  is whereimprovements are needed most.
I agree that your project is comming 
  along well, and I appreciate your contribution. My comments are strictly 
  meant as helpful criticism so it may continue to evolve.

while its not ideal for you to enter your points yet (getting better) 
your potential clients will have a pretty simple time of it.. but.. .i'm

Keep up the good work. I see major improvements from when you first
told us it existed. It will be good for us all.

I'd like to see autozoom to the
state level when you click on the state. Its difficult to make out the
up to 100 sites in the area on the full zoom out national view. If you
click on ome of them then when you zoom in it stays homed in on the
region. But then none of the other points show up on the maps, until
you unclick on the first point. Its stillawkward.

Re: [WISPA] GOOGLEMAP URL - SORRY...
  

  Thats a good point.
  hmmm... 
  
  the only problem with populating points by clicking a
state.. while it DOES remove that extra filter step... is that XML
lookups take some time.. and if you click the wrong state.. it'll take
10 secs to get back to the state you want... 
  
  it may be worth it though... its a trade off... lemme see..

  Here is your next enhancement. I am a customer looking for
service. I go to the site, click WISP (I know what I want) and click
on my state. I would want to see some indication there are providers
there. Next click, markers, all the way in to the one I want.
