Social design: Nuanced/specific user feedback ?

Uservoice.com has an interesting system where the users have a maximum
of 10 votes which they can constantly can reallocate where they wish.
Each feature however can have 3 maximum votes per user. Taken
together, this allows the most favourite features to trickle up.

Virtual Smart Agents increase conversions?

This came up this morning while chatting with a content manager friend
of mine. She's installing one of those "virtual smart agent"
things on her customer's web site.

It's one of those little in-page chat windows that pops up and asks
if you'd like to talk to an agent and get help.

She says they "increase conversions 10%".

I think they're one of the more annoying, and misused bits of fluff
to appear in the past few years.

UX Book Club - an update

Back around Thanksgiving I floated the idea (here and elsewhere) of forming
a book club in Sydney to meet and discuss books about user experience
(broadly speaking). The idea resonated with a lot of other people and very
quickly UX Book Clubs were being formed around the world, thanks in no small
part to the efforts of people like Andrew Boyd and Will Evans.

CRM system for a UX team?

Thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier question. Here's another one.

Has anyone had experience with using a CRM system (preferably a free
or low-cost one) to manage customer/user contacts within a UX team?

My team currently uses an Excel spreadsheet stored in a shared
repository. Keeping it up to date is a painful experience. I'm
thinking that there must be a better way.

Thanks,

Dmitry

Question about streamlining Axure prototypes, Feb 3

Thank you Kim, and to everyone else who has responded.
I regenerated the prototype into a new folder, which caused it to lose 20lbs
instantly!

Best regards,
Gloria
