UKNM: Notable US site failures?

[John Blower]

I'm researching an article about US companies launching sites in the UK and

being amazed that they don't work.


In particular, I remember reading somewhere (!) recently that "American

spelling is perceived by UK web users as mis-spelling rather than

Americanization" - but I'm damned if I can remember where or when.


(Perhaps I made it up...?)


Perhaps you sterling fellows can help me out with some notable examples of

sites which seemed to work in the US, but which, in the UK were abject

failures in the UK.


Many thanks.



Toodle Pip!
