If you've ever wanted to do any usability testing of your website, there's a new program just released that may be a great option. It's called Silverback, and it sounds like a promising program. The one downside is that it is only available for the Mac platform, so an unappologetic Windows user like me has to wait for a while before using this.

If you're in the market for usability software, consider Silverback. You can try it free for 30 days, and a single copy is around $50, which is much better than the roughly $1500 street price for Morae from TechSmith. That said, we used Morae for usability testing when we redesigned our website at Georgetown, and it was well worth the money we spent on it.

At the risk of providing lots of free advertising for a company's product I haven't tested, here's a video explaining Silverback:
