Website Design / Usability Feedback on a Budget: Fivesecondtest.com

Category: How to, Internet Strategy, Site-seeing Tags: , , , , Leave a Comment

I just came across a nifty site called fivesecondtest.com. The site is primarily for web designers/developers who need feedback and input on overall design and information architecture. According to them it is a  “simple online usability test that helps you identify the most prominent elements of your user interfaces.”

I was on the site earlier and tested out a few sites loaded by others. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Podcasting made easy

Category: Social Media Tags: , , Leave a Comment

I recently launched a podcast series for my employer. Putting it together was much easier than expected. Here is the combination of solutions I used:

  • A wordpress blog with a custom domain
  • A $40 noise-canceling microphone with headset
  • Skype with the Pamela plugin for recording phone interviews/conversations
  • Some royalty free music
  • Windows movie maker or Audacity
  • Feedburner to create my podcast-ready feeds
  • Royalty-free stock photography for header graphics and iTunes icon

all this and, Viola! A podcast was born…I am so proud.

Now for the hard part – great and compelling content that folks actually want to listen to!
