Observations: After the Iteration
Comment: For our last user we took a different approach. We didn’t give user any tasks or instructions, we just told him what the website is about and we let him explore around while talking out loud about each of the buttons, components, etc.
User | Creating and Managing an Account | Interacting with MyWeb | Sharing the Bookmarks |
|---|
User #1 | User #2 | | User #3 | | | #4 | - Easily able to sign-up and get to work.
- Expected an “import bookmarks from other browsers” option in the “create a new bookmark” window.
| - Unclear about when a bookmark is selected. Expects the selected bookmark/folder to have highlights around it.
- Would like to see a drop-down list titled “IN” that would at any point display the folder the viewed bookmark is and give an easy way to change to another folder.
| - Happy with the sharing tools.
|
User #5 | - Took some time to find the importing options once the account was created.
| - Couldn’t understand how to change the name of the bookmark. Instead of just clicking on the name which would allow him to type in a new name, the user thought he should double-click or right click in order to change it.
- Didn’t know how to move bookmark from one folder to another, so he tried to delete the bookmark, and then create it again in the new folder.
| - Wanted to have a list of contacts to share the bookmarks with instead of having to go lookup the e-mail address.
|
User #6 | - Tries to click on the textboxes titled 1,2,3 explaining the steps need to start using the site.
| - Found bookmarking a webpage tedious because the user had to open the website in another window, copy the URL come back to our app and paste it.* Wasn’t sure whether the “x” at the top of the bookmark window meant close or delete.* Unclear about whether drag and drop takes you to another folder or keeps you in the current one.
- Wanted an UNDO option.
| - Wasn’t sure who he is supposed to share his bookmarks with. With himself, friends or what?
