Meryl's Notes Blog

Web world is still shouting about the infamous W3C Patent Policy. So, I won’t stand in the way of that and encourage you to post clear constructive criticism like Zeldman did. When anger or some other emotion shows up in a posting, people tend to move on and ignore it. Stating facts and backing them up speaks volumes. Also, Zeldman indicated in his blog that the group may be heading back to the drawing board next week. One more day to mail comments before tomorrow’s cutoff date.

I learned something new today. Shirley posted an item along with links about Web Site Credibility based on research from Stanford. It gives me a lot of food for thought. For example, all the blogs out there are personal Web sites and the vary in their style. Some joke around, some are serious, some are disgusting… they are just being what they want to be. On the other hand, I’ve landed on e-commerce Web sites that I refused to stay one more minute because it was poorly constructed and unattractive, or as I call them, “cheap looking.” Somewhere my subconscious is telling me this is not a credible site, not a place where I feel is a safe place to shop.
