“A practical guide to naming products, services, businesses, divisions, stores, magazines, newsletters, domain names and just about anything else except babies.”
Just in time for Valentine’s Day — something really stupid: “Love, lust or just checking someone out, eCRUSH finds out if the feeling is mutual. It’s a free and confidential way to break the ice. Sign up and list whomever you have a crush on. If you know their email, we can send a message inviting them to register at eCRUSH because SOMEONE likes them. If they eCRUSH you, it’s a match. If not, your secret is safe — nobody can find out who eCRUSHed them.”
See where the space shuttle is, overhead, in real time. Java app.
“My previous article about sitemaps examined what they should be like. The conclusion was: sitemaps need to be complete and show metainformation. The second conclusion was that it’s hard to build a good sitemap. In this article I try to focus on the true functions of search engines, navigation and sitemaps.” Also of interest, excerpted from peterme.com: “Cartographerrific! Peter van Dijck wrote me with an interesting development pertaining to how folks navigate a site he’s designed: ‘I wanted to share some usability testing I’ve been doing. After trying out several navigation methods, and testing different sitemaps with users, I decided to put a sitemap on every page. This is for a small content site (about 50 or so pages). The surprise was that the live statistics show that the sitemap, even though it is at the bottom of the page, is used for over 60% of all navigation on the site (except of course for the back button, which I can’t log automatically.)’”
