"Friction-full commenting"Somehow every idiot on the web gets to post crappy comments on gizmodo.com, but I can't. Not that i compare to those idiots on the entertaining level but occasionally i have something intelligent to say or a question to ask. I'm pretty fed up with the never ending iphone coverage anyways.
They're actually good tips for the non-technical, imo. Reading through them, I kepts hearing the voices of past employers and marketing types that thought those were each good ideas!"Yes, we should have everyone register on our homepage, so we know who is using our site, and how to market to them better""Long URLs look more professional!""I would like to track everything about a user on our site, with out using a database, so we need longer URLs to support that massive amount of information""When ever someone comes to our site, I want them to start at the homepage, no matter what! The homepage is part of the user experience, and is how we can best guide them to the products they want.""It's a security vulnerability for people to know the URL of a page, so don't let them see it""It's bad customer service to not let people contact the company, but it's bad customer service to not respond to said contacts, so we have to provide a way for people to contact us, but not make it too easy""If we provide a real email address, we'll get spammed""I want to know everything about a customer when they contact us, so we can't just have them send us an email. Make them fill out a form with all the information we need. Then, we can automatically redirect them to a page answering their question with out contacting us. Everyone is happy!""All we have to do is put a notice on the page saying it's built for Internet Explorer, then that 1% who don't use it, can just open another browser to come to our page. It's that easy!"-----------------Most of these thoughts are the result of someone who doesn't understand how people use the web, or why people use the web. Typically, they are very arrogant and believe that people LOVE their site and products, and would do anything to the company asks.
Not only am I not going to your website, I dugg you down. You can't claim your forum is the next best thing...look how desperate you are for attention, spamming it.
I'm a fan of Guy's blog. I'm not even in the tech industry (I'm in music), but his posts always ROCK! This one is genius of course!Natashanatashamillerweb,.com

"What would your reaction be."Is this perhaps supposed to be a... question? If so, why the hell didn't you use a question mark?

A company I know is working on an eBay competitor for marketers and consumers. It's iSocket.com, but I don't think it's launching for a few months.
