Comment on Gmail Display Density by Nick Dalla Riva

Totally agree!

I use a 32″ TV monitor for home, and 13″ Mac Book, an iPhone, and and iPad and a 17″ mac Book to access my e-mail. All experiences work really well. I never find myself trying to work out how to make it work better on each site. The usability of screen size is critical. (I recently asked NAB to stop the Internet Banking log in Pop up window from expanding to full screen size, because I use a 32″ screen, and it annoys me to then have to reduce the screen size to something more usable).

[...] The classic example for demonstrating the concept of usability is a door. Basically, when you walk up to a door, you should know exactly what to do with it in order to open it. This concept is discussed in all corners of the usability world, from Don Norman’s The Design of Everyday Things (one of my Top Reads) to a myriad of other blogs like UXBooth and UsabilityOne. [...]

Comment on Top 5 eye-tracking tips by Chris Gray

Hi Greg – We see recruitment as much the same as for regular usability testing. The main differences we put in place are to increase the time between sessions and not recruiting users with glasses.
In terms of recruitment the key is to find participants who are can bring relevant experience to the interface being tested. For example if we are looking at a car insurance website we would ideally recruit people who have taken out insurance in the last 6 months or are in the process of looking for insurance. It is also important to get a good cross section of internet experience. We like to avoid the use of demographics in isolation because they have less influence on users ability to interact with an interface. Further, we cut out novice users because they tend not to have the experience to draw upon when navigating a site (ie. they are having difficulty with a site because they are novices opposed to an issue with a site).
