[Sigia-l] card sorting: dealing with multiple placements

[Brett Ingram]

You need to conduct the card sorting with multiple subjects and examine the
frequency with which a particular card is placed under a certain topic.

Avoid putting it in multiple places. My experience with user research has
shown that users find it easier to use if it is in just one place. (This is
particularly for sites that would be frequently used by the same user base)
