A good article in the Australian about the debacle that is AFR.com.au.
Killer quote from Cheief Executve Michael Gill:
“We are not aware of any other product like that, which is why it has been an unusually complex project.”
and the response from Mark Day, the journalist:
“Unusually complex? Therein lies the problem. The technical complexity involved in building a world-first financial information and services application – combining various software programs and getting them to work together – is one thing; getting users to understand it is another.”
I for one struggle to understand it, and I simply will not use the site as it is, well, unusable.
Fairfax Business Media just doesn’t seem to understand Internet Business. Why, therefore, should I expect the AFR to cover internet issues with any credibility?

After giving up on the AFR site I tried to revisit over the last two days. It’s now even worse that I remember. Probably spent a good two hours in total over several occasions and wasn’t able to resolve a single search. Nothing but wheels, spinning endlessly and pointlessly.
