A little more awareness
Another serious goof on the Hotmail / MSN site. They’re getting good at that latelyThey are posting links to their own shopping site, with a nice Shop pink! (And raise breast cancer awareness) link. That’s good.
But on some pages, the area they reserve for their sidebar with the links is a bit smaller. OK, so it does not seem smaller, and has the same width, but the pictures may be larger resulting in smaller area of text per item. To solve that they have those wonderful automated scripts that just clip the end of long sentences and replace them with ellipses. Saves space. Problem is, if the object the sentence is right at the end, it might get a bit… lost.
So on the main login page, everything is fine, when seeing various other hotmail pages everything is fine. When sending a message however, that nice clipping thingy starts to work…
End result? MSN encourages everyone to help raise breast cancer
Hmmm… Should increase their sales of related products and medicines. But I’m not sure overall it’s such a good idea for everyone. Don’t do anything MSN tells you to without thinking about it first.
Better be aware of things before you start to raise them, that’s what I always say. Mabye if they heard that, and had exhibited a tad more awareness, they wouldn’t raise anyone’s hackles…
