Re: [IxDA Discuss] Save vs Save and Exit

2010-01-14 Thread Diego Moya
I like how the GMail interface handles the case for saving a new message as a draft: a Save now button that gets disabled after the content has been saved (either by the user or autosave). The button is reactivated when the user makes a change to the content. This provides a persistent indicator

Could you rephrase question 1, because it sounds as if you are saying that you make the personas up first and then recruit people to match the personas, instead of using the data from the user interviews/ contextual inquiry/user testing/journaling/surveys to then drive the creation of the

For question #3: We've used many un-moderated (aka automated) usability tools in the past, including Usabilla, Loop11, OptimalSort, UserZoom, and MindCanvas (now defunct). Our take on automated research is that it's good for resolving or validating very specific, targeted usability
