Jon Strohl organized an Ignite session in which many of us "pitted" different UX methods against each other. In mine, I argue for why remote UX testing is the best UX method. (Of course, I like many methods, and each is "the best" in different situations, but for the sake of this presentation, I hd some fun...) See my blog post about this: http://www.forsmarshgroup.com/index.php/blog/post/uxpa-recap-part-ii-why-remote-testing-is-the-most-preferred-ux-method.
