Big Playah Usability Oops
July 29th, 2004 |This excellent article addresses the Top 10 Usability Blunders of the Big Players. My comments: No search function - Though a site should be designed so that a visitor doesn’t have to resort to search, it should have a search function available.

CRM ERP Soup
July 27th, 2004 |I’ve been busy researching the world of CRM (customer relationship management) and ERP (enterprise resource planning).

Oh No, Odeon
July 15th, 2004 |Odeon’s Web site is inaccessible to browsers other than IE. I tried checking it out in FireFox and Mozilla 1.7 and got nothing but its logo.
