Keith – you’re exactly right. Like I said, it’s a small part of Project X. But what about customers finding negative reviews of your site on the web? And why should microISV A review startup B’s web site? I think I’ve found good solutions to these and other problems we all face. Stay tuned!

I’m thinking Project X will allow others (not just Bob) to review the site. Then all comments and ratings will be accumulated for the client/website owner to view and use to improve his site.

That’s part of it Ged and Tim, but the other is I’m back to blogging here and couldn’t pass up a way to do a site review in 25 minutes instead of the 2 hrs it usually takes me. For me, this was a real world test that the questions I had crafted for site reviews in Project X worked.

Richard (I don’t know if he wants his last name used, so I won’t) did raise a good point in an email to me re this post. For him, the biggest value add was the “why” and “what can they do about it” I included in earlier reviews. Good points! I’m adding that as a third open ended questions besides “What did you like/dislike about the site?” and “Any suggestions for this site?”: “How would you improve this site?”

@Tim,

It looks to me line Bob is trying to raise a bit of Mystique. What is Project X?

He say’s it’s just one small bit, though. I look forward to finding out more.

@Ged, I’m assuming it’s the bit outside the screenshot – i.e. it is, at least in part, a tool for reviewing websites?? Interesting. I wonder where else Bob’s going with this? Maybe down the Twiddla / website annotation route? So he can scribble in red pen on your site?

I’m curious as to what part Project-X played in the production of the review. Was it responsible, somehow, for cutting 2 hours down to 25 minutes?
