While his points are good... his site is ugly as all hell.Why should I take advice from this nasty thing he calls his website with a web design?

all those retards "knowing what's best" are the first to fail in making anything successful.you can't make anything worthwhile by following a "list of rules" only.start by treating any job, web design for example, like an art.then you'll see rules are irrelevant.

Of course Jared Spool doesn't talk geek-speak to the execs who just want to talk $$$. But because Jared is smart enough than to bore the execs to tears about standards and usability, that doesn't necessarily make a case for ignoring standards and usability.1. How do we increase revenue? -- See #2, 3, and 4.2. How do we reduce expenses? -- Use web standards, css, table-less design etc to speed up the production process and speed up the inevitable re-design and/or update process. (if you're still using tables for layout because you don't understand how to effectively use css, then you probably don't know how much easier/efficient/faster web development can be)3. How do we bring in more customers? -- Use web standards to decrease code bloat and load times. Use web standards to "make your site search engine friendly" - and thus easier to find for the humans using the search engines.4. How do we get more business out of each existing customer? -- Usability. See also #3. A better customer experience may also increase word-of-mouth recommendations - helping with #3.5. How do we increase shareholder value? -- See answers to 1-4.Of course, this is a web design perspective. Business-wise, great customer service, products/services, and marketing are a place to start.

I noticed that Webpagesthatsuck.com is using YouTube to host some of its content. Wouldn't it make more sense to host multimedia content on its own site?
