A few things struck me.

  1. Not only is the site unusable in Lynx, it breaks my usual use pattern in Opera because ctrl-shift-click causes the JavaScript to be run in the context of a new window, which appears to fail.

But beyond the user-interface suckiness and nit-picking:

  1. How mundane most of the sites seemed to be. It feels like the worst of the self-congratulatory bits of the Oscars.

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
