The issue of removing shortcuts and direct clickable links is often the result of poorly thought-out customer surveys and user testing disassociated with the business requirements. In the physical world, I remember being surveyed at a railways station and asked whether I'd like to see fast food restaurants and a wider range of shops in the station forecourt. "Yes", but they didn't ask if I would ever use them - that would have been a "no". I guess all the feedback was that people love pull-down menus.</p>ClerkendwellerMon, 15 Sep 2008 08:18:51 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/09/sitemeters-attempted-challenge-to.html#comment-2358112<p>I was quite excited initially that there was an upgrade but I found the new format quite confusing.<br>What I liked about the original site was the simplicity and the ability to quickly click through to see the details on who had searched using what and where they went.</p><p>I am sure they will get it right but I have lost about 16 hours of stats - something I take seriously.</p><p>On the plus side I note that Landscape Juice is in the top 7,000 sites of over one million on the scoreboard.</p>Philip VoiceMon, 15 Sep 2008 08:02:44 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/09/sitemeters-attempted-challenge-to.html#comment-2357386<p>The interface was very slow last night too.</p><p>A gradual rollout of the new functionality might have been more appropriate than the big-bang approach. Small changes are more manageable and mean that criticisms of new functionality can be addressed without degrading existing features.</p><p>Good to see Sitemeter trying to compete though.</p>andymurdMon, 15 Sep 2008 05:16:52 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/09/sitemeters-attempted-challenge-to.html#comment-2356917<p>I wonder if they use SarBox or are organized after ITIL...</p>LuigiMon, 15 Sep 2008 03:33:23 -0000
