I just wonder if it's been useability tested at all... It's depressing to
see the number of marketing-driven websites that seem to have no
informational direction.

Who exactly makes the decision to use massive images, JavaScript and Flash
on websites these days? I'm sure there's some kind of researched view on the
demographic they're aiming for... They probably want MTV for the web.

Here's a clue-branch for the marketing set: MTV works because it takes
advantage of my horrendously trained attention span. Websites that take
30-40s per page do not.


Opinion for the Day(tm): See the snot-nose kid in the Armani suit making
all those decisions for you? Fire him. Hire a librarian.
