[Sigia-l] Card sorting sorted

[donna at maadmob.net]

Given that card sorting is used by many IAs as a user-centred design 
method, what UCD methods do *you* use?

And asking users to design their own solution can be interesting 
sometimes ;) Yet another way of looking at how they view their task, 
and another way of getting useful information from them...

Not that I'd directly implement the results from either method - that's 
where the 'design' comes in.
