Here is an email sent to us regarding an invitation to help make the Seattle.gov website by participating in a usibility study and in return receiving compensation:
Laurelhurst Blog,
We are a non-profit in Seattle running a study of Seattle.gov (with the Dept. of Info. Technology) to help improve the website. Because we have yet to recruit any participants from Laurelhurst, we were wondering if you would be so kind as to post a little blurb with a link to our study's sign up page. We are pretty urgently looking for participants in the next few days, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
"Have you ever been frustrated at how difficult government web sites are to use? Here's your chance to help them improve (and make a little something-something for yourself while you're at it).
Knowledge as Power, a non-profit based in Seattle, is running a Usability Study on Seattle.gov. Essentially we are looking for participants like you to sit in a room and let us takes notes as you browse for information on Seattle.gov. It's as easy as that, and in return we will give you $20 in Tippr credit. (Tippr.com is a local Seattle company similar to Groupon, LivingSocial, etc. Your $20 credit gets you $40-$60 worth of Seattle goods.)
Right now we are looking for two specific groups of people, 1) People who use or have used Seattle.gov for a business purpose (e.g. perhaps you're a startup and you have to use the website to find & apply for permits) and 2) Ordinary Citzens! We're looking for people of every level computer competency to come in and test the website.
Come help your city work better. You will find a link to the short application page here: http://ow.ly/2qyYy
