UKNM: boo made a booboo but......

[Nabil Shabka]

Granted, not everyone has a quick connection or the latest hardware and

software but, alot of us do.  Personally I think flash is great.  The plug

in is small, it's quick and allows you to do things that were too cumbersome

before. Lots of people access the net from the office, usually with half

decent connections.  The problem that I see with the site is that navigation

doesn't exist.  Rather, you bounce around from one window to another (and

rather small windows at that).  Although I'm not so sure that I would have

only done a flash version, it is pretty neat.


Yes, boo will probably have some negative short side affects for the

industry over here but, we'll survive.  As long boo sort out their lack of

navigation I think it may succeed.  Best of luck to them.

Isn't this the big problem - when the most highly funded and publicised

projects launch with such negative

reactions, all of us are harmed.  Unfortunately, first impressions are very

important, and the release of

such an amazingly crap site after such a huge investment is going to make

the financial community VERY wary.

booboo had an unstated responsibility to get things right, as it was being

viewed by a lot of people both

within and without our industry as an indicator as to the future of online

retail.  Personally, I'm very

pissed off that they have dropped the ball so quickly as I think it reflects

on us all.


boo hoo
