Facebook Company Page

On April 12, 2010, in Business, by Kerry

When your company is just you and a partner, it’s kind of difficult to figure out what to say on Facebook. Do you just talk amongst yourselves? I have a hard enough time finding something to say on my personal page. At least I found the place to create a company page.

Just checking out the housing market in Portland. What’s happened to traditional supply/demand curve? Plummeting prices, plummeting inventory? Does this mean that Portland is actually heading for some appreciation. Wait..what’s that little swing in inventory I see?

We used to say that people were  pawning their work off on others.  Now we call it “cross training”.

Certain Irony

On March 22, 2010, in Business, by Kerry

I just found out that  Nuance, the makers of the speech recognition software Dragon naturally speaking, do not offer the software as a downloadable purchase. Seems strange that a product which appeals so much to the disabled would require me to drive somewhere if I needed to purchase it right now.

Best and Worst Automotive Manufacturers Website

On February 13, 2010, in Misc., The Web, by Kerry

Just a casual observation as I’m in the market for a car. Best manufacturer’s website I’ve seen? Ford . I’ve never been a great fan of the company or their products, but when it comes to website user experience, they get it. Quickly rip through different models, compare trim packages, and all the while dynamically updating your total cost and monthly lease payment at the bottom of the screen. Tasteful, easy to use, standard navigation concepts, and all of the data at your fingertips.

The worst manufacturer’s website I’ve seen? Mitsubishi! Who the heck sold them this thing? I’m looking through a keyhole at the information. The nav buttons are scattered everywhere. The sliding screen makes me dizzy. Additional nav pops up and covers half of my keyhole site picture. All I want to see is a good picture of the rear seat legroom. Absolutely maddening!
