Hello folks,

I think that the online icon usability study should be kepts as simple as 
possible. Stick to the original plan of providing a text box that allows 
people to type in. Do not measure time.

Measuring time and other factors is best left to focus groups held in a 
controlled environment. Otherwise you're over analyzing uncontrolled sources 
and obtaining a "funny mirror" level of quality on your average user. Not 
good.

The type-in text box is a good start, and will collect great data.

Sean.
