I thought it might be interesting to add a little more to Perry’s history about Local Guides . We’ll see how much of all this history makes sense to post but I thought you might be interested in knowing that we put up an early experimental live site using baseline concepts in localguides up under www.tennessee.com. Great learning experiment. One of the main things we tried in tennessee.com was the use of an intermediate list concept. You can just go to the site and start adding things to a list. From the list, you could create a guide. This seemed like a good idea at the time but we found under usability testing that it was getting in the way - people understood a “guide” fundamentally well enough to start creating them straight away.
