22 Cheap or Free Web Usability Tools, Part 1: An Introduction : MarketingProfs - http://www.marketingprofs.com/article...
Actual users, or people who match typical website users, are tested in a carefully developed series of tasks on a website. The session is one-on-one: A moderator provides the test instructions while the participant tries to accomplish the tasks. The participant is recorded (via audio, video, and screen interaction), and task failure points are documented and analy

Twitter helps friendfeed because of stupid "@" reply change. #fixreplies

I think the battle of what service is "better" has effectively already concluded. Now, Twitter can use its mass muscle and do whatever they like. What a blunder.

I'm hoping this kind of nonsense will bring more people over to FF.

Can't agree more on the @replies.
- Thomas Chai
Twitter's response: http://twitter.com/dougw... and http://twitter.com/al3x... (at least that's what I think the last one is about).I replied to @dougw: What they're really saying is "i don't know about this OR i don't understand this OR i don't need this." hence the @techcrunch piece. maybe "i don't understand this" is a good reason for taking the feature away (i disagree), but that is @jasonkincaid's point, no?
- Guan Yang
Andrew: except that friendfeed has FAR better friend management. FAR better search. FAR better feature set (wait until you start using feeds and saved searches). And a FAR better community (very little spam and almost no assholes except for me. Heheh).
- Robert Scoble
Ev's just replied they're considering alternatives. That was quick.
- Sameer
@Robert Scoble: +5 You scored a bounty with that last comment
- David Damore
I really dug seeing my friends interact with other people. I'm really irritated that the feature is gone just because people "might" not understand it. Sounds like the retards I contract with at the moment.
- Jon, the Beartato of '10
They should just have left it the way it was: let the user decide if he wants to view those @s or not. There is no need to be "considering alternatives".
- 321
Robert I just posted on my blog about this http://bit.ly/NbBFs ... I agree it probably helps friendfeed but I would like to see Twitter handle this snafu with a little more grace than facebook has handled similar situations. It gives Twitter the opportunity to shine in a way. They can shine by listening.
- Jesse Newhart
@Jesse Newhart: Did you see the last tweet from @ev? "Reading people's thoughts on the replies issue. We're considering alternatives. Thanks for your feedback." http://twitter.com/ev
- David Damore
321 has a good point. This feature wasn't broke to begin with. They gave users the choice to change the @reply options and explained it well when you tried to figure it out.
- Jon, the Beartato of '10
Scoble, step away from the ff coolaid! Do you want to repeat the great Leo laporte jaiku debarcle?
- Darryl Adams

David aka admore yes I saw that thanks. Doesn't mean we should stop posting about it just because Ev is 'considering alternatives'. :p

Don't piss off the Twitter community.
- Adam Reyher
Friendfeed seems much more friendly to me! Love the conversations. Way easier to follow threads. Think I'll start hanging out here with y'all.
- Ruth Helfinstein
321 hit is on the head... maybe he should change is name to 123 cause of how simple of a solution that would have been for the boys down and Twitterless. And where were they getting their data from that this was something users desired? I can't see too many people other than the really fickle or those that don't "get" twitter needing to remove replies?! Perfect push I needed to come to the friendlier feeds :)

I have my FF settings to publish all my "likes" and comments to twitter - hoping twitterers who would like to have actual conversations will wake up and come over here.
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
the day i question the @geekadvancement & @shiralazar about treading the fine line of exploiting and /or embracing the geek culture, twitter decides to disable @ replies. @wilw's blog puts it into perspective.
- sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq
To remove an option completely is a dimwit thing. #fixreplies
- Jacque
I agree, when I saw that I hopped over to FF again, when you take away flexibility you take away a certain demographic uses the service. I have found more interesting people through replies then really anything else
- J. Doss
This stupid move by Twitter made me wish all the more for a mobile tool for FF that's usable. That's my ONLY issue with FF...it's simply unusable on mobile for me.
- Ken Camp
I was thinking exactly that today when I noticed that I still saw the replies here - brilliant.
- shira
Twitter now says it was a change required by engineering, not by user feature not being used. LOL
- Justin Long
Didn't twitter just remove the setting option, but continue to display @ replies?
- Steve Garfield
I'm contemplating an image of a failwhale shooting itself in the foot...
- Linda Mills
Steve: no.
- Justin Long
Steve the way Twitter has handled communication about what they did is pathetic and that may ultimately be they're biggest failing.
- Debi Jones
they display replies to YOU, but if your friend (i.e. Scoble, either one) replies to someone you are not following (friend-of-friend) then you won't see THAT reply.
- Justin Long
completely eliminates social discovery. its like going to a party and unless your friends with both people, not being able to hear any of the conversations. your friend's talking to someone you don't know and you can't hear... its like being blind to every conversation. Ridiculous!
- Justin Long
The number of new subscribers I've received on FF has exploded over the last 24 hours. People may be voting with more than their complaints and hashtags. Twitter could redeem itself by leap-frogging @replies and bringing back a more powerful discovery tool and that is of course - TRACK
- Debi Jones
ha i tried "track" only to have it twittered instead of an active command. i wondered what had happened to it.
- Justin Long
@scobleizer is there any way you can convince the friendfeed guys to create a simple replies feature (so I know when someone replies to a post) and/or threading (which I realize is significantly more complex than a simple reply view). This is a huge part of why people use and stick with Twitter. I doubt the shortcode/SMS is still a major factor.
- Jason Nunnelley
imho, threading is the way to go. Just like Jaiku does it and has always done it. Dunno why this is still missing from FF. And please don't bash Leo, Jaiku has been better made than Twitter, more features (but all made sense, no useless crap) and the threading. It just worked, and there was nothing big missing UI/UX-wise. Until google decided it doesn't care about microblogging, that is.
- Vlad Bobleanta
Overnight, I've become a major fan of FriendFeed. Less "silliness" than on Twitter, IMHO.

building and customer service are only tertiary Twitter purposes for online shoe and clothing retailer Zappos. The firm's CEO Tony Hsieh has been using the platform since March 2007, and has become somewhat of a celebrity Twitterer, with over 26,000 followers. "After using it with just my close friends for about a year, I realized how much Twitter had allowed me to form more personal connections with everyone, so we decided to introduce it to Zappos as a way of growing our company culture. We've found that it's been great for building more personal connections with both employees and customers," Hsieh told ClickZ News.
