We’re in 2 day usability testing for http://www.mythings.com. We’re finding out a lot about what works and doesn’t work with our site. We’re using a 3rd party tester called www.testkitchens.com What’s really been great about working with Test Kitchens is the quality of their test subject recruits. They personally phone interview recruits for “how articulate they are about their opinions/ideas” before putting them in the pool, and they’ve done a great job of finding recruits from our target demo/psychographic profiles. I’ve been in many usability testing with Yahoo!, but so far, the quality of results we’re getting from Test Kitchens is way better than what we’ve ever gotten at Yahoo!.
