There are many pros and cons to collecting user data online, one of the greater cons from the researchers' point of view is the uncertaintly as to whether participants are paying attention and are answering as best they can.According to the British Psychology Society blog, one new tool may help remove some of those niggling doubts.The UserActionTracer collects data such as mouse movements, all

Focus groups are lots of fun and, most importantly, should provide tons of useful information for the client.However, after each session it's good to reflect on both what could be done better and what went well, both immediately after a sessions as well as after having reviewed the videos.Here are a few reflections on things that can affect focus group dynamics.Participant profilesLanguage skills

"Web users spend 69% of their time viewing the left half of the page and 30% viewing the right half. [ok so far]A conventional layout is thus more likely to make sites profitable." [hmmmmm, profitable?!] Jakob's conclusion could be right, but not based on this argument alone. It's a bit of a wild leap for someone who is usually so black and white about things.If he had said: "Web users spend 69%

I'm glad Amazon added the option of "Add to wish list" to their product pages.Before it was necessary to go into "Wish lists", search for your own list (yes, search!), search for the product (again)... Well, this was all a few months ago and I can't remember the details, but I know it was a hassle and a chore, - requiring a high level of motivation from the user. - Exactly what not to do if you

I was looking to subscribe by RSS to a blog, but could I find the link I was looking for?! A moment of frustration.Having scrolled up and down, and having tried different pages, I eventually found it.It's big enough you might think, so why didn't I "see" it, despite having looked at it?It even says "RSS subscription" in capital letters!Later that same day I was on another website and found the

Thinking about models for deleting files or messages...I can think of 4, but which is best?Delete (as in now and forever) e.g. Visio. It doesn't matter how long you've been working on that prototype, it can still be gone in less than a second. And why on earth would "Rename", "Insert page" and "Delete" be so close together?! :o1st lesson to remember: regularly save file under different names. 2nd

I love the idea of the Google "wave"; a move forward, away from traditional 1-to-1 email.BUT, having been using Google Wave for a few days, there are a few things that jump out at me that could be improved. Obviously it's a beta version or "preview"; some things will be fixed, others are just a question of changing habits and others may continue to confuse or encumber. We will see.To start with,

As I'm getting involved more with SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, I've been experimenting with the tools available.Here I wanted to mention 2 Google tools which can be used for identifying keywords: Google Trends and Google Insights for Search.Google Trends has generally been considered a useful tool for SEO.By discovering the lastest popular search terms, webmasters hope to discover which

- A question often asked (incredulously) by web teams looking at their data logs!The answer is simple: it's usually quicker, requires less mental effort and is generally more fruitful to find the correct website address in a search engine than attempt to do so in the brower's address bar.Let's see why that is:Web addresses are difficult to type given the non-semantic elements and punctuation:

Prompted by the 50th birthday of the Swiss typeface Helvetica last year, the documentary by Gary Hustwit looks at the astonishing prevalence of Helvetica in the signs and logos of the urban landscape that surrounds us.Those interviewed generally belong to either the Helvetica is great or Helvetica is dull camp: control and restraint versus creativity and free expression, legibility versus visual

One of the issues floating around my head while I enjoy a quiet Sunday afternoon is what to do about a site's url when its mobile baby brother comes along?Website addresses already cause a lot of confusion (Was it .co.uk; .com or .org...?), but typing on a keyboard means it is fairly quick to try different options, and google usually lends a helping hand if we get it wrong.What's more, having to

Having finished the W3C's online course: An Introduction to Mobile Web Best Practices, I have been reflecting a little over the things I have learnt about the mobile (and not so mobile) web.One of the tasks was to try out 3 of the sites we often use from a desktop computer using either a mobile phone or an emulator.

On a recent visit home to Warwickshire, England, my dad pulled off the road to buy fresh asparagus from a farm.It was quite a different grocery shopping experience to the average: here there were no queues, no need for debit cards, ID and pin numbers, the stall was left unsupervised and completely technology-free: you pay, take your change and enjoy your asparagus!Quite refreshing to see in 2008.

Everyday objects which not only successfully combine utility and aesthetics, but are also commercially viable are currently on display in the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, Spain.The exhibition stems from the idea that utility is the raison d'etre of design and lists 5 sides to utility which, roughly translated, are the following: Appropriate for an endIn accordance with the bodyEasy for

Why do people use things for purposes and in ways in which they weren't intended?One of the tasks of a psychological study I took part in when I was at university was to think of as many different uses as possible for a object within a 30 second period. I think the object was the cardboard tube from inside a kitchen roll. In theory, the more uses you could think of the more creative or

It's not the first time I've seen photos like these used to make a point about usability/(non) user-centred design, but it is an amusing collection of photos and I do love the name: "Desire Paths".Apart from making me homesick for my native green and grassy England, basically it brings us around again to the idea that if something is not useful or usable, people will find a way around it.

Hey guys!I like the blogger site, it looks good and it's pretty easy to use. But still, with a few tweaks here and then the accessibility of the blogs created would be much better to everyone's benefit.One thing that's missing are easy-to-add alt tags from the image upload dialogue box: >>>An alt tag is a description of the image or its purpose. This way, users of screen readers or those

In the same week that Microsoft announced they are reducing the price of Windows Vista by 40%, I came across this report which takes a look at the differences in the accessibility options of Windows XP and Windows Vista.The article by Magnifiers.org starts by mentioning a Forrester Research report commissioned by Microsoft in 2003 which found that: One quarter [of users included in the study] had

Interesting report generated by a free online tool which compares the marketing impact and Search Engine Optimisation score of your website and optionally that of the competition. See Website graderIt's nicely written, (it doesn't sound like your typical computer-generated report) and gives you tips on how to improve on your weak spots.How useful it is, I couldn't say, interesting though,

Definitely the best and the only way to learn the importance of accessible websites is to see users using assistive technologies for yourself.Here is a collection of online videos about assistive technologies which do just that.With thanks to dotjay's lab for putting this resource together.

Happily it seems some are making the most of email and getting online customer service right.11870.com is one example of a web 2.0 site with personalized customer service with a human touch.A couple of days after I signed up and added a few of my favourite bars and restaurants to the listings of 11870, I received an email - shock horror from a real person!! - offering help and encouraging me to

I LOVE this idea of converting spam into cute, quirky designs.Who would have thought anything positive, beautiful and humourous could come out of spam?!! It's almost poetry!See Linzie Hunter's Flickr page

...that's not to say that they're cheap!Smashing Magazine got together a list of 25 objects (laptop cases, speaker systems among others) currently on the market, which combine beauty, style, elegance, in some cases a sense of fun.Their mysterious product appeal suggests they offer an unmatched user experience.

A summary from Turbomilk on what does and doesn't work in icon design. Unsurprisingly, many of the general usability guidelines apply. But Turbomilk suggests taking the following considerations into account:SimplicityRecognizabilityStyle consistencyEase of differentiationCultural localizationNot forgetting, of course, the importance of working on a small scale; resizing a large, (even vectorial)

Tripod design, Tokyo, has some great user-centred products.Check out the pens they have made for people who use their feet or mouths to write (see U-Wing pens) or those with weak hands (see Handy Birdy pens); not only do the products look great but everyone is catered for!Importantly they aim for barrier-free design and say about their Handy Birdy pens:These were our first products designed

Amy Tiemann notes how astonishing it is that a group of children who have relatively little access to computers already have some firm ideas about web 2.0 and online shopping.Children at an American elementary school enjoy sending imaginary emails to each other using paper laptops they custom-designed themselves.Prioritize for convenienceLooking at their designs it's clear that these children

Finally a way for (North American) geeks to try out the XO laptops. The One Laptop Per Child scheme has a limited period only buy-one get-one offer: for 400 US dollars you get your hands on a laptop while another one gets donated to a child in a developing country. Everyone benefits!Pity I'm not in the USA... Anyway, I look forward to hearing news of other people's test drives :)Links: One laptop
