--dMkkGOfFr5yP8Y7iI28Rd-TdLbiKTA-Xogi610H Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Just wanted to pass along some updates and some content that might be useful for folks on the list. As was mentioned before, Interviewing Users (http://rosenfeldmedia.com/books/interviewing-users/) went on sale a few weeks ago. You can read an excerpt on Core77 http://www.core77.com/blog/exclusive/check_your_worldview_at_the_door_and_other_advice_for_interviewing_users_-_exclusive_excerpt_24830.asp#more. Grant McCracken posted his very cool foreword to the book http://cultureby.com/2013/05/steve-portigals-interviewing-users.html. I did a short audio interview with Denise Lee Yohn (about innovation, interviewing, insights) http://deniseleeyohn.com/bites/2013/05/13/design-researcher-steve-portigal-on-interviewing-users/and a written interview at Ethnography Matters (with Tricia Wang and Jenna Burrell) - http://ethnographymatters.net/2013/05/08/interviewing-users-by-steve-portigal/ (and translated into Spanish http://lopeztoledodotcom.wordpress.com/2013/05/22/entrevistando-a-los-usuarios/.) I did a webcast for O'Reilly and the recording has been posted http://oreillynet.com/pub/e/2705. Readers of the Usabilla blog posted questions about user research and the questions (and my answers) are posted http://blog.usabilla.com/and-the-winner-is/. We've hit 50 War Stories - http://www.portigal.com/series/WarStories/ (and I'm always looking for more; get in touch if you've got something to share) and Susan Dray wrote a wonderful reflection on the series for Core77 http://www.core77.com/blog/strategy_research/lessons_from_the_front_line_by_susan_dray_24852.asp. Finally, if you are going to be in New York on June 19th, you're invited to the Interviewing Users book launch party. RSVP at http://nyinterviewing.eventbrite.com/. The SF event on June 3 is full-up. Both will feature food, drink, desserts, book giveaways and live War Stories!
