Privacy, comments and blogs
I have had the first outside-my-circle reaction to this blog.
I had typed something disparaging and incorrect about a website. And published it here.
I named names. **Doh.**
Should not have done. (And I shouldn’t go on in any way about websites sucking.)
(Ms. Koi: From now on I shall refrain from snide and useless online discourse.)
Under the previous entry on ImageShack, Ms. Koi says it all.
Cool, I just read the Google cache and, although I’m glad she called you on it, it wasn’t anything but the (misguided) truth. That said, I really should look to my own off-the-cuff remarks … you are not alone in making ill-advised statements in public, Olle, so don’t feel too bad. There is no polite way to tell a stranger their markup sucks.
Uhm, instead of us geeks raving about what is wrong with other people’s markup, we should try to impart the chops and the wherewithal on those of us who give a fuck about our user experience.
For instance, is there a Firefox extension to list a couple of websites that need my Verdana readability fix — and on those websites silently apply that fix?
