Friday Four - Things/People That Are Overrated
· Sep 21, 09:12 AM
Four people or things that I find are overrated:
1. Jakob Nielson – Could this guy be any more full of himself? Jakob: your ideas are great…if this was 1999. We’re in the year 2007. Don’t tell us how to design when it’s obvious you can’t. Your site is one of the LEAST usable and LEAST attractive I have come across.
DISCLAIMER: my site isn’t finished yet. when it’s done it will be an altar to usability.
2. Los Angeles – Don’t get me wrong, I like California…I like Yosemite, Sequoia and the Sierras. I like San Fran and everything nerdy that comes out of Cupertino. But I hate loathe L.A. I’ve only been there once, and believe me when I say L.A. is OVERRATED. Too many people, too many cars, too many celebrities that are full of themselves, too many people that wish they were celebrities, too many people that THINK they are celebrities, the MPAA, etc. I could go on and on, but trust me, it sucks. Now, San Antonio definitely has it’s negatives. But I’d rather live in San Antonio for 80 years before I live in L.A. for more than a day.
3. Beyonce Knowles – is it just me, or does she just RUIN every movie she’s ever been in? Listen, I’ll acquiesce that she sings good. But she is a HORRIBLE actress. Almost as bad as that blonde chick from CBS’s Cold Case. ALMOST
4. MySpace – WHY THE HECK ARE PEOPLE STILL USING THIS SITE? People, MySpace sucks! It has HORRIBLE usability, HORRIBLE aesthetic appeal, and a but-ugly-did-I-mention-HORRIBLE Layout. Plus, your privacy on MySpace is virtually NILL. And the ADS, don’t get me started on the ads. ANNOYING AS … well, almost as annoying as Beyonce in every movie she’s ever been in. ALMOST.
Comment
Having lived in both SoCal and San Antonio, I can honestly say that I hate both equally, although LA does have nicer weather.
