Readers Respond: "real" company addresses; site usability
Lots of Reader feedback in my in-box today — great! (Love getting notes and ideas from you guys.)
Allen Freeman of Cleveland Creative writes, “Can you show me where on the linked page mentioned above that a person signs up for the daily SherpaBlog? I found two boxes for the weekly version, but nothing on the daily. I spent 3-4 minutes looking. (P.S. — since you guys critique other sites, why doesn’t this link take me to a distraction-free signup page exclusively?)”
That’s because we only offer the emailed version weekly right now as I learn more about editorial flow, etc. Didn’t want to overpromise and send you a bad blog just because I had to send “something” every day. Your site critiques are very welcome — especially since we’re in the midst of a giant site and blog redesign right now. More news later.
Troy White at the American Management Association writes, “I’ve also had folks pitch me on handling our email messaging. ‘Send me info’, I’ll say. Which they do… from a hotmail account!!!! Huh? Whassup w/ that? Gee, XYZ Company says they can handle all AMA’s email messaging, but they can’t set Mr. Sales Rep up w/ a company email address?”
Jim Nugent (who didn’t say where he works) says,“Value Click annoying? Gets worse after the opening page? Come on Anne. The site loads fast, the exciting yet simple graphics grab one’s attention and one can get to essential information in just two clicks with no waiting. Can’t say that about most pages I’ve seen. Take another look. In my view, this site exhibits the qualities you so often laud: fast loading, eye catching opening page, easy navigation.”
Todd Kellner of List-Universe writes, “You are SO right! I was on Value Click’s site earlier today and it sucks.”
