Interviews
Result
Respondents...
- predominantly using the bookmark-toolbar -> most practicable and efficient
- arrange their bookmarks on-the-fly
- propose a relevance ranking
- want a clearly design -> overlay should be visible
Only a few of them use folders and those who do not use bookmarks, close the browser and "Save and Exit".
Problems
Respondents...
- feel ill-informed of other usefull plug-ins
- do not care about "advanced" bookmarking (e.g. tags)
The bookmark-toolbar is width-delimited by the users display and its resolution.
Goals
- enable a fast access to bookmarks
- automation of arranging/storing via meta-data
- focussing on usability
- sort bookmarks by relevance and the frequency of use
- no data loss
Non-Goals
- focussing on graphic fooling
- complicate bookmarking
- removal of the bookmark function
