Project Rolling

Our CBS EyeMobile has started, and it's already opening my eyes to a few different things. My first test was with a young lady who was a communications major. I thought it was a very helpful test because she didn't understand some of the basic concepts that a journalist would. It's not that the EyeMobile website is a bastion of great journalism yet, but there are ideas, like the sub categories and news tags on the website.
As the testing goes on through the next week I wonder what will be different if I interview journalism majors. This will most likely be a main component of our presentation to the class. I wonder how important the people at CBS will find it. I know the most accurate gage for all of this is how regular people respond to it, but I do find the differences in perceptions amongst our peers very intriguing.

I am one of the developers of the CBS EyeMobile site. I would love to see your results once compiled. If you are going to post the findings, do you think you could post a followup comment on this post so I get an email notification? If not, will you email me the results - josh at treemolabs dot com.

Thanks
