I liked the "guess who’s computer desktop” blog post our friends over at Hunch did a while back, so I’m copying the idea.

Check out the desktops below. Can you match the desktop to the owner?

- Sean Donohue - VP, Creative
- Colleen Wilson - Content Manager
- Mig Reyes - Interactive Designer
- Alex Solis - BizDev/Partnerships Designer
- Dustin Henderlong - Partnerships Manager
- Shaun Crittenden - Front-end Developer

oh and me...
- Brock Rumer - User Experience Director

I.... can do anything.... it's in a book...

I'm giving away a $25 credit to the first person to correctly identify the book in this photo before Thursday, 5 May.



I'll be giving hints over the next few days, but for every hint I give there will be $ deducted from the prize.

Put your guess in the comments.

I've mashed up ideas from the comments on my previous post as well and some ideas that have been seen roaming around Threadless HQ.

This doesn't mean we're doing everything on this list or that we won't do things that aren't on the list. But it's a start. If you have comments, drop 'em below.

I'll be back with some more topics and I'll update as this stuff moves forward.

----------------------------------

Basic Scoring Interface:
- Remove "I'd buy it"
- Add labels/explanations for each score level (see: newgrounds.com - thanks @[+duracell-] )
+ Love It / Like It / Meh. / Needs Work / That's a no
+ explore alternate levels/labels(?)
- test removal of zero level
- Explore additional ways to sort (or order)
- test presentation order other than date
- allow sort view to continue on sub page previous/next (or PowerScore)
+ like flickr sets vs. stream?
- about to end
- Highest rated
- Low total number of votes
- category/theme/tag


PowerScore Interface:
- People love it, let's set it loose
- finish/polish/address bugs
- Allow commenting without leaving PowerScore
- Treatment of Flash

New Scoring Locations:
- iPhone/iPad
- Mobile-optimized site
+navigation on touch devices (no hover)
- Desktop widget


Sub Acceptance:
Consider...
- being more selective on posted subs
- having two rounds of voting
- multiple decline levels
- drop subs into critique
- be clearer about dropped subs
- increase threshold for dropping subs?


Keep 'em voting
- Encourage Alumni voting
- Offer voting incentives
+total scored
+scoring "accuracy"


After voting closes
- Show score distribution?
- Don't show % on slogans

Hey Threadless!

I'm Brock, and I've recently joined the staff here at Threadless as User Experience Director. What's that mean? Basically that I'm going to help make the site more useful and usable - no small challenge for a site that is already awesome.

The most important part of the site (and my job) is you. And that's why I'm here, I want to know what you think.

First up... the Participate section, more specifically, scoring.

How would you improve scoring of submissions?
What's working? what's not?
Do you have ideas on how to make scoring easier?
How about ways to make it more accurate?

Have at it below...

P.S. - There will be plenty of opportunity for feedback on other parts of the site, so please save ideas that aren't about scoring.
