Write one of these memos about your own website

June 26, 2008 - 9:05am — yelvington

The net is all abuzz today about this angry memo from Bill Gates to a list of Microsoft bigwigs back in 2003. It's a classic: Gates tries to buy some Microsoft software, has a terrible user experience, and lets people know exactly what he thinks.

Funny, but here's a challenge. Assign yourself any random task on your newspaper's website, like trying to sell a car or give away a dog or maybe just find the forums. Take notes. And then write a Gates memo. Bet you can do it, with feeling.

Great rant

Haha, I had never read that email rant from Gates before. It is funny but I hope people don't take this to mean Macs are better.
