WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: August 09, 2002 Improving Business Through User-Centered Design (WebWord) -- "An Interview with UCD Innovators Scott Isensee, Carol Righi and Karel Vredenburg" (Comments: This is an interview conducted for WebWord by Kerrie Green. Thanks Kerrie!)
Reader Comments...
The interview would be even easier to read if the names that begin each paragraph were bolded, so that we can also read the article by person, as opposed to linear fashion. Were the interviewees given a word limit in their responses, or their answers edited? It's interesting that they share the same verbosity level. [When you see someone use the term "verbosity," chances are they're a Zork veteran.] Posted by: Jack on August 9, 2002 10:34 AM
Jack, good comments. I considered making the names bold but I didn't. I'll change that later today. Stay tuned. Regarding the verbosity of responses, I agree. They do seem to be about the same length. Probably not due to editing. Instead, probably more like synchronization of menstrual cycle. No, seriously. The questions "smell" the same and it seems like Carol Righi and Karel Vredenburg followed the first person to answer (Scott Isensee), so the responses became synchronized. Interesting theory, no? Response Synchronization as a Factor of Question Construction and Modeling the Alpha Response. There's a thesis topic for someone. Posted by: John S. Rhodes on August 9, 2002 11:16 AM
Jack, the first names are now bold, as you suggested. Posted by: John S. Rhodes on August 9, 2002 06:53 PM
