[thelist] Site Review

I have to size my iMac window full size to see the site at 800x600, 
but I imagine the target audience has larger monitors & resolutions 
than I.

Clean look & feel, fast download: I like.

Good grounding & clear navigation via javascript menu: I like.

I like the colors, mainly, but that grey space on the left hand side 
feels like a "hole" somehow.  I tend to want that color to be darker 
& brighter and the content block to have a perhaps lighter 
background. I do like the use & placement of the logo.

Beyond the first paragraph, I couldn't understand a word of the text 
on the front page, but that's pretty typical for me & corporate-speak 
sites.  I'm sure the target audience knows exactly what  "interactive 
web mining," "statistical situational analysis" and "customers' hot 
buttons" are.

This is one of my favorite phrases on the site:
"Multi-Parameter Negotiated eCommerce."

In fact the entire site (content) frightens me somewhat.  I am 
envisioning warehouses of supercomputers full of details about me and 
every aspect of my life.  Perhaps when I get a talking refrigerator 
with a web browser, it will be spitting targeted ecommerce ads at me, 
thanks to these "intelligent WebSites"....

Again, I am hardly the target audience, and I'm sure I'm just paranoid.

oh yeah, I'd like to see a "close" link on the pop-ups & maybe window 
sizes more in keeping with the amount of information they display. 
The bios could have smaller windows & I don't think the "white paper" 
pages need to fill a full 800x600 resolution... I'd rather they be 
fluid.

But I've given enough info already, to be used in the "knowledge 
fusion method" for automation of "collection, transformation, and 
loading of data into data warehouses."
