Interview Questions for Persona Development

As part of an independent study project (U Texas iSchool student),
I'm developing personas to help guide the BBA site redesign efforts.
I have access to a wealth of demographic, survey and web analytics
information and also plan to speak to the undergraduate program
office about their perceptions of the site and its users.

Please send your advice about what questions to ask (undergraduate
business school students) when doing interviews for persona
development. I hope to tease out user goals and behaviors.

References to clients/colleagues/managers/companies in social networking discussions/posting

There was a message earlier today that had a lively discussion about
printing out passwords, but the subject line brings up another
meta-issue of how we address those we work with/for. The subject line
referred to "crazy client". In this world of social networking and
myriad connections, should we be careful about references to those we
work with. I've seen Twitter messages where people are talking about
their "bad manager" and "their crazy company" and wonder how these
references might hurt in the long run.

Hi All,
I've been unemployed for a bit, and now have had to start freelancing. I've
always been a full time person, so I am definitely new to the freelancing
game. A potential client has asked me for a proposal, anyone have an example
they might want to share??

Thanks,
Christine

JOB; Senior Interaction Designer; New York, NY; The Cementbloc; Full Time

Buzz. Most agencies want it. A few try to fake it. Even fewer maintain
it. Since 2000, the cementbloc has been generating what most people
would call buzz. But we are not most people. We are a unique community
of 4 independent healthcare agencies known collectively as the
cementbloc. Our ethos is cemented in generating something far more
important than just buzz.

So what then is that sound you hear when you step off our elevators?
It's actually the sound we live for: the sound of good ideas at work.

The cementbond is currently seeking a Senior Interaction Designer to
join their team.

Looking for data to refute crazy client

The system should programmatically choose a new temporary password and
should send it to the user, with a note reminding them to change it
immediately. The administrators should not have direct access to the
temporary or user-selected passwords.

Functions that the administrators are able to perform on behalf of
users should be done via their own login credentials, so the actions
can be distinguished from the user's.
