Observations
...
User | Creating and Managing an Account | Interacting with MyWeb | Sharing the Bookmarks |
|---|
User #1 | - Easily found the way to sign-up
- Had no trouble importing bookmarks during sign-up
- Took a long time to figure out how to import more bookmarks once logged-in
| - Quickly and easily found how to add/delete folders
- When adding a bookmark to a folder, was looking in the folders separation for a button instead of the separation where the bookmarks are displayed.
- Interacting and searching through to folders was fast and easy.
- When deleting a folder, expected an alert/confirmation window.
| - Easily found how to share a bookmark.
- Was clear about the information necessary for sharing.
- Expected an alert/confirmation when hitting the "share" button.
|
User #2 | - When creating an account was not sure whether the "Name" box asks for the actual name or the username.
- Is not sure how to import more bookmarks when already logged in.
| - When adding a new bookmark, thought of putting the link to the webpage in the "Name" box instead of the URL box.
- When moving a bookmark from one folder to the other by drag and drop, was not sure whether the bookmark gets removed from the original folder or just copied to the new one.
| - Could easily find how to share a bookmark
- Was not sure if it was possible to share a folder.
- Expected an alert/confirmation when hitting the "share" button.
|
User #3 | - Tried to click on the website description steps from the intro page.
- Was actually able to import more bookmarks when already logged in.
| - Thought that the search box searches in the Web and not through the bookmarks.
- Expected some feedback that the URL worked when adding a new bookmark.
- When trying to view all the folders, tried to select all the folders or do an empty search instead of selecting the "All" folder.
| - Took some time to locate the share button
- Realized how share works once the button was located.
- Was unclear about the function of the share button, i.e. does it share a bookmark or the folder the user is in?
