Bad Email, Bad Website

The shots that Zeldman provided are pretty ugly indeed. However, it does seem as if it could be quite a challenge to create an email service that could be compatible with both cell phones and the average computer.

"Clearly the layout must work correctly in some applications; doubtless, too, there must be some users who enjoy getting craploads of musician photos in their e-mail in-box."

Zeldman makes it clear that the website's design is misguided at best. The creators have tried to fit too many photographs into too small of a space. Bad design as well as a web page that doesn't work. The cure here might be going with a simpler design. Perhaps if the creators didn't have such a need to fill ad space, however, this might be more concievable.

From the information that the author has presented us with, it appears as if the creators of this website have probably not done their best work here. The simple fact that they would create an email service with so many ads, pictures, and seemingly unncessary things, seems almost stupid.
