Two Things That Annoy Me
12th of March, 2007
TLDs in website names. jimwhimpey.com is my domain name, it points to my website, it is not the name of my website. I’m OK with any other variation of this, give your website a title that has no relation to your domain name at all, that’s OK.
It’s even worse when the www is included, the www doesn’t even need to be in the URL let alone the website’s title!
The other is summary RSS feeds. A lot of news websites seem to think this is really clever and I can see how it might be useful, letting you know when news is updated but it just annoys me.
I really dislike using more than one application to do one specific task. I’m using an application called Net News Wire, I read 98% of my news subscriptions inside New News Wire, I don’t want to be forced to open a web browser to finish reading what could potenitally and easily be given to me right within the the feed reader.
Although NNW, unlike NNW Lite, has a built in web browser probably for that exact reason. I don’t like that my feed reader has a built in web browser because obnoxious websites aren’t happy about me avoiding their badly designed, advertisment saturated websties.
