I stayed home tonight, watched TV, and took notes on a poker training site I subscribe to. I caught the tail end of a commercial from Hooters, saying something about every location giving away a 42″ TV on February 6. Now, Hooters is not my favorite restaurant Downtown, but some people like it, and I figured it was another Super Bowl option to tell my readers about, so I pulled up their web site in my Firefox browser on my MacBook. I saw this:
To see the content I’m supposed to be seeing, I have to install a plugin.
No. I don’t care that much. Don’t make me work to see your content.
Just for kicks, I tried pulling the page up on my iPhone. Guess what. It can’t view the content either.
Idiots. Why build a site that a substantial portion of your market can’t see?
In other news… I tried out that link that lets you see all of The Daily content without paying for it or owning an iPad. Wow. Glad I didn’t waste 99 cents a week plus the cost of an iPad on that. After reading a few of the articles, I closed The Daily and switched to the AP Mobile app on my iPhone, which I thought had much more interesting, better written news.
Guess I’ll make it an early night and go to bed… my brain needs to be sharp for tomorrow. I’ll tell you why in a future post.
