Free beer for usability

2 Comments / usability / By

Interesting idea: Café testing The basic idea behind café testing is to situate yourself at a café, put up a sign to attract participants, and test the people that come to you.

Seems like all the bloggers I know have invitations to give away. Well, they are not alone. Although it took a while before I got my first invite, I am now reciving a lot of them from Google Mail.

One of my many domains have been used by spammers for a while. Unfortunately its not much I can do about it, without spending a week to try to track down the perpetrators.

It could possibly confirm your e-mail address to the spammers. And
