How to recruit students for user testing at sussex university, the Stuart method.
1. go to facebook
2. look at a friend
3. look at their ‘Networks with the most friends’
4. click on the one called ’sussex.uni’ (if they have it) – this will show you all their friends that go to / have gone to or work at sussex uni
The most difficult bit is telling if you know or might have met the student from their tiny photo, but we got a really good response.

As a user of 43things, the goal based social network, i make lists of things i want to do. From pipe dreams to the more practical I can check out others who have achieved my goals, who are working towards them and even those who failed.
Once i complete a goal it’s there for me to see and forms part of my profile or DNA. I find the social network aspects motivating and encouraging within 43things and my tagcloud of things i have achieved makes me proud.
One day i’ll be able to add time travel to it, but for the moment i’m happy with my cloud of using wordpress as a full cms, playing a kraftwerk song on the keyboard, learn jive dancing and stop dressing like a teenager.
