@patio - GREAT GREAT feedback, thank you SO much

Yo Josh,

Matt from fivesectest here. I'm intersted to hear how useful you find the feedback, how easy it is to collate results, quips and qualms, etc... considering the number of results you're getting I'm keen to hear your opinions.

Hey Matt! would you like to chat on AIM/gchat or have me post here?

Feel free to drop me a line on matt@angrymonkeys.com.au

I think I have that hooked into gtalk as well so you can add me on there as well if you prefer. Bit busy at the mo, but happy to have a proper chat later :)

I started it, looked at it, went "huh?" and ended up not clicking on anything.

I clicked on the thing that stood out which was the skip button. As I did, some webpage appeared in the grey frame but it was too late.

Maybe rephrase it to "on the following screenshot, click on the things that stand out"?

I have comments which seemed outside the scope of the 5 second test, so (to avoid biasing anyone reading this) I'm going to put them somewhere you can read off of HN: http://www.pastie.org/826710

It took me a full minute to realize that this was some sort of college dating service (I think). I originally thought that it was some sort of college match-making service for kids looking for a university.

Can we see the results of the testing too? Would be an interesting feature.

Is this a "dating site" for really, really shy people who already know each other? Why not just ask, if the your crush wants to see a movie with you or not? You'll have to talk to her/him sooner or later.

You obviously never had a crush.

A confirmation from this site (that me and my crush like each other), would make things awkward, since it would mean that I wasn't confident enough to talk to her. This wouldn't boost my confidence level, thus I wouldn't use this site.

Not trying to be rude, this is just my opinion.

Josh, check out http://prospectandmeeting.com/, the Brown equivalent.

Usability testing for GoodCrush.com - thank you all so much for participating (don't go to the site before testing!)!

Hey Josh, I remember meeting you at the NYC HN Meetup, glad to see goodcrush is coming along nicely

the fivesecondtest 'fastforwards' button doesn't actually work. It skips to the content, and then is broken.
