Broken: Yahoo thesaurus page
The Yahoo thesaurus provides a good example of how not to focus a page on its primary goal. (How many dozens of distracting elements are on the page?)
Perhaps as broken is the quiz in the left sidebar--"How many square feet in an acre?", with the button below labeled "Submit My Vote". We're voting on measurements now?
In that case, I wouldn't mind voting on how many ounces are in a pound--I could use to lose a little weight...
California Culinary Academy - LONG-STANDING cooking traditions!
I want my LONG-STANDING degree in ***!
It is a LONG-STANDING fact that *** square feet are in one acre!
Not Broken!
In Gmail, its sorta weird too. Me and my friends were doing a project, and it was dying. there was an e-mail saying "we need progress" and the ads on the side said stuff like "Hide plasma TV with art" and
"A new life in sydney"
I'd like a new life in Sydney! Well, maybe not Sydney exactly, but somewhere by the Gold Coast would certainly do...
Could have been worse. I've seen similar setups where there isn't even content, yet. It's just a placeholder- all the distracting elements are in place, but no content yet. A sure sign of a company that's not too concerned with quality.
