Drupal Log / Clickheat Map

Bojhan - Mon, 2008-05-12 00:42

Hey,

Just a small question how will Clickheat map help in any usability research? It only gives vague colours of where people click doesn't it? And I am somewhat worried about how you want to Drupal Log, because I would love to have usability research where the user tells exactly what he thinks but I am not sure if this happens very often, especially in online research.

Who is mentor of this project? I would love to get in touch.

Best Regards,

Bojhan Somers

Webchick and I are. PM me:
