I just got hold of this article… really well arranged. The user dynamics prediction is something to me is highly subjective. and its a good attempt to learn their behaviour. but how would you actually categorize the parameters which can line up and inturn have a good objective clustering done for any user visiting any website. if you could throw some light on those aspects then its the best thing that person like me would be using :)...

Thanks John

Daniel, Really nice article. it actually works fine for all unilateral appeal based websites/single purpose web application. In the past i ve got both good and bad experiences based on this way of data capture.

I accept as everyone agree on the size of the article, specifically when talking about the MOST CRUCIAL PART OF ANY PROJECT. the project shines or fails based on the effort and outcome of this step. But website or the web application project where the intention is not just corporate exposure or business focus but if its more than that. in those kind of sites or application the surrogate users actually disrupts the linearity thread of either the concept or the basement of idea. Because its not a simple single line information that forms the base of the project design. – just my views

But having them in the loop can definitely help us as the guiding principle for taking some key points. Probably easy to say – depends on project by project basis. But when considered only option or the least of an option in data collection i would definitely salute this idea of getting them in the loop…

Really good article to address very important stage of the Project Initiation. Thanks for the article.
