This is a multi-part message in MIME format --_----------=_MCPart_1189122242 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format="fixed" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Web design is stabilizing; the average homepage is only about 40% different than it was a year before. (Corresponding to 2.5 years between complete redesigns.) Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox for September 24: Homepage Design Changes > http://www.useit.com/alertbox/homepage-design-change.html ------------------------------------------------------------ Usability Week 2012 conference * San Francisco: this week * London: October 14-19 * New York City: Oct. 28 - Nov. 2 * Seattle: November 5-9 * Las Vegas: December 2-7 Full event program describing all full-day training courses: > http://www.nngroup.com/events Deadline to save 10% on New York early-bird registration * This Friday, September 28 Deadline to save 10% on Seattle early-bird registration * Next Friday, October 5 ------------------------------------------------------------ Intranet Social Features If you have social features on your intranet or corporate portal (such as wikis, Twitter-like microblogging tools, social bookmarking, prediction markets, etc.) we'd like to hear from you. How have you used these types of tools to extend or enhance your company intranet or corporate portal? Has your company experimented, through user trials or already achieved successful implementations of social collaboration/networking tools? If so, we would like to learn more about your efforts. We are updating our report Enterprise 2.0: Social Software on Intranets (http://www.nngroup.com/reports/intranet/social/) and we are interested in learning about your real-world experiences, case studies, success stories and challenges in making these Web 2.0 concepts work in an enterprise environment. Whether you have used these tools for many years or you are just getting started we would like to hear about your experiences. We are looking for examples from all types of intranets and portals: public, private or government. Successful projects or ideas that didn't work out in practice? Both are equally interesting. Participants can remain anonymous, but if you are willing to be quoted, you and your organization will get substantial professional recognition from being represented in the report. Also, each company that participates will receive a complimentary copy of the report. If you would like to contribute to this study please send Patty Caya a brief message outlining your project or social features: > [email protected] Deadline: Tuesday October 9, 2012. ------------------------------------------------------------ Google Usability Lab My last column was about how to do user testing without a usability lab: > http://www.useit.com/alertbox/simple-usability-lab.html But it sure is nice to have a good lab available for your tests.
