Card sorting - measuring success of navigation early
April 27, 2007
As many Refresh Detroit members know, I’m a big fan of card sorting. At Boxes and Arrows, Iain Barker has published Measuring the Success of a Classification System, a wonderful article that takes Donna Maurer’s card-based classification evaluation technique a step further.

There are several excellent events in the next few weeks you want to try to attend. Tonight (sorry for the late notice, I announced it at last night’s meeting too), the Ann Arbor Ad Council April meeting will be “Drive Stellar Results with Search Engine Marketing and the Blogosphere” with speakers Linda Girard, co-founder and CEO of Pure Visibility, Inc., and David Binkowski, Senior Vice President, Word of Mouth Marketing - MS&L Digital.
