Minneapolis is far from the worst city web site I have had to deal with. It
is about average from my experience. For work reasons I regularly go to
State, county, and city web sites looking for information.
Minneapolis's site could use some help. I sometimes wish there could be a
standard format for states, counties, and cities to use; but I won't hold my
breath. On the other side of that argument are some of the wonderful sites
out there and the individuality of that local that comes out in its being
different.

Subject: [Mpls] city web site
Does anyone besides me find the City of Mpls web site the most
screwed up mess on the internet? It seems like it is designed to make things
impossible to find. My current quest is to find out who are the members of
the planning commission. I am sure someone will come up with a perfectly
logical link like 'architectural students whose names start with p', but the
whole thing stinks. Unless you're looking for some info the city really has
to supply because another site already does, like property info, the site is
inadequate, outdated and totally confusing. Maybe it's just me, in which
case I'm sure one of you will tell me. By the way, wasn't our mayor supposed
to be gung ho on computer technology? How much does it cost to keep a user
friendly site up to date and if the city can't, then dump it and save money.
