Interesting that you pick google. You can test live without making it your main site. People understand that news.google.com is testing. Not obvious that the www.macromedia.com site is the same. Moreover, the focus of google.com is not the news, it's another function. People can still use www.google.com without worrying about whether or not news.google.com.
No one has a perfect launch, but this isn't even close. Mike Wokasch P.S. I'm done complaining. What's done is done, and hopefully they fix their problems sooner than they have with MX & Linux ;) ************************************** > > If it's a beta version, why is it public then? > > Sometimes when you are trying to experiment new things, you don't have any > choices than to experiment "live". > > Look at Google News (http://news.google.com/), it has been launch to the > public several months ago (nearly a year) and it is still Google News > "Beta". > > Benoit Hediard > www.benorama.com > > > -----Message d'origine----- > > De : Scott Wilhelm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Envoyé : mercredi 5 mars 2003 17:21 > > À : CF-Talk > > Objet : RE: New Macromedia.com launched! > > > > > > If it's a beta version, why is it public then? > > > > I mean, I wouldn't think that it's a good practice to put your beta's > > directly out to the public. > > > > Just my 2 cents. > > > > Scott > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Benoit Hediard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 11:00 AM > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: RE: New Macromedia.com launched! > > > > > > Come on guys... it is a Beta version. > > Is there only "never happy" people on this list? > > > > > Marcromedia needs to stop it with all their flash everywhere... > > > it's bad design, slow and confusing in many regards... > > > > I disagree about the "bad design" and "confusing things" arguments (... > > agree about the "slow" one). > > The organisation of the site seems to be much clear than the previous > > one. > > > > The home page is not intended to ColdFusion Developers... but any kind > > of > > audience, that's why it requires a "flashy" brand/corporate look&feel. > > If you don't like it, just go directly to > > http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/, you don't have to go > > through it. > > (there was already a big marketing flash movie in the previous home > > page) > > > > > They keep changing the groupings of things as well ... quite a > > > pain this morning to find the Exchanges... had to use the site map... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
