Usability

Well I finally did my usability testing on sunday. I was very fortunate to get some kids...( or as i discovered they are refered to as tweens... its a mixture of teen and....... i don't remember) anyways these kids tested out the site for me in exchange for some junk food. Basically I was blown away at first by their computer savvyness... these kids can type better than me, they know all the hottest sites and they keep blogs and other things (they kept talking about myspace... i don't really know what that is i guess a blogging thing?). Anyways so they did my tasks and it wnet alright I guess. I didn't expect the site to have amazing results, but it wasn't terrible either. I still think an improvement would have been a pop up menu, but then again hidsight is always twenty twenty.
I spent the entire day cooped up in the library finishing my 500 assignment which our wonderful group left to the last minute. Anyways so I'm not done the report. At least I started some though. I'll finish it tomorrow, but hopefully it's not an all nighter like the website portion.
