Title: First it hurts, then it makes you sick...
Product review: This is quite possibly the worst book I've ever read in my life.I didn't realize someone could create something so self-congratulatory that they lost any and all vision of contradiction. There are examples of 'great architecture', complete with content hierarchy diagrams, that were obviously poorly thought out, if thought about at all. Common problems like separating support and marketing information, or placing/labeling company wide information have no formal identification or treatment.Essentially this is a tour of 'sexy' sites made in 1998 - which wasn't really that much of a break through year for usability or architecture. If you want to see what happened when a mass of CDROM designers started making websites - this is the read for you...Personally, I stole this book from the office just to ensure that some producer wouldn't read it and take it seriously... It's that nonsensical.
