I am Barrister Idiawe Fujiking of & Associates Lome-Togo, personal attorney to the late Mr. Victor.Qureshi, a National Of your country who worked with Shell Development Company in lome-Togo. He and his wife and only daughter were involved in an automobile accident while visiting a neighboring country on 2nd April 2008 and left nobody as a Next of Kin that can lay claim to his estates. This has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you hence I know that you bear the same surname with him. I seek your consent and assistance in repartriating money left behind by him before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank. The deposit is valued twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only and it is lodged with Bank. The Bank has issued me an ultimatum to present the next-of-kin of the deceased to inherit the funds or have the account declared unserviceable. I here by seek your consent to present you to the Bank as next-of-kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued of the said fund can be transferred to you as inheritance, and thereafter you and I will share the money, while part of it will be donated to Charity Fund. I have necessary legal information which in legal terms are supposed to be known by me and this will I relate to you to support the claim of the inheritance from the Bank. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see the transaction through. I guarantee that the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. PLEASE CONTACT ME trough my private email address barristeridiawefujiking04@gmail.com for more details Thanks waiting to hear from you soon. Barrister Idiawe Fujiking 

Talk about hitting two birds with one stone: Besides Facebook, Twitter is another social-media site threatened by Google+.

Users of Google’s new social network have found it is essentially a “Twitterbook” hybrid. As with Twitter, users can follow large numbers of people. As with Facebook, users control who they share information with. You can broadcast to everyone on the network or share photos of a night out with friends only.

Facebook, at least, is taking Google+ seriously enough to conduct reconnaissance on the service. Facebook product manager Sam Lessin has been posting test messages, presumably to understand how the service works. “Why are you following me?” he asks his nearly 2,200 followers on the site. Facebook director of product Blake Ross goes a step further. A recent posting of his encouraged users to contact Facebook’s vice president for user feedback—via Google+.

The first step in top task management is carrying out a task situation analysis in order to understand the whole range of customer tasks that exist. I call this list of customer tasks the ‘Longlist.’

The following longlist sources are specifically for a public website, but the basic approach to building a longlist works just as well for an intranet. (However, you can’t really look at ‘competitor’ intranets, and using public web search statistics is not relevant from an intranet perspective.)

Start with organization strategy. Analyze corporate philosophy, vision and strategy statements. What does the organization want to achieve over the next 5 years and how much of that does it want to achieve on the Web? It is very important that you link your website strategy to the organization’s overall strategy. This seems obvious but you wouldn’t believe how many websites are disconnected from core organizational aims and objectives.

Talk to key stakeholders: Find out what key people within the organization think the website’s purpose is. What do they think the customer’s top tasks are? What do they think the top tasks should be? Tip: Sometimes we deliberately include stakeholder tasks in the final list that we know won’t get a big vote. But then we can say, look, this task didn’t get many votes.

Examine the existing website: A good way to gather tasks is to copy level 1 and 2 of the website classification into the longlist. Another good source is the site index.

Collect top search terms: Get the top 50-100 search terms over a 12 month period for your search engine. With the English National Health Service (NHS) Choices we used Google Adwords to find out the top health related terms that people were searching for on Google. 

Competitor websites: Examine four to six competitor websites, taking tasks from the homepage and second levels of these websites.

Relevant media (including social media): Are there magazines, blogs, specialist industry websites, associations, Twitter feeds, etc. that might have relevant tasks?

Customer feedback and research: What are the most common customer inquiries and complaints? Talk to support, help and sales staff to get this sort of data. Are there surveys or other research that show what tasks customers come to the website to complete?

For a large project, I recommend doing 10-20 customer interviews. These interviews don’t usually uncover new tasks outside those already discovered as a result of analyzing the sources above. However, interviews are great for getting a feel for how the customer thinks. Make these interviews very short (about 15 minutes), using the following format:
Brief introduction

It’s important that you are as comprehensive and thorough as possible in gathering your tasks. Remember, top task management is an evidence-based approach. You don’t want someone saying later that you missed an important task.

Depending on the size of the website the initial list of tasks may range from 300 to 1,000. For example, for the NHS Choices website, we had almost 1,000 initial tasks. Next issue I will describe how to go about cleaning up the tasks and bringing them to a much shorter list.
