Re: [IxDA Discuss] URL Guidelines

2009-01-27 Thread Martin Dube
SEO perspective:
Why not using underscore: Because it concatenate (merge both words
into a single entity) which makes no sense to search engines robot
and the end. Wile the dashes keep both word seperated for search
engine bot. There was an issue with the amount of dashes you can put
in a string. Until 2007 (from what I know) Google bot stopped reading
after the 3rd dashes. But I think Google modified it's robot to
permit more than 3 dashes.

User perspective:
Simply using chamelBackNamingConvention in short URL could do the
job. That's my way.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Date display formats in tables

2008-12-13 Thread Martin Dube
Numbers VS Words.
A go in the same way as Karl  Shep. Month and Day numbers create
confusion if you repeat the information again and again. Words are
words, they clarify the subject. Date numbers are short hands. I
would not build a data grid based on short hands information.
Sort by Year.
This option can clarify information that is posted in December and
January period.
