[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 and it's out of date yeah [20:32:56] 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
