:: Walking the walk ::

So many of us have had to grit our teeth and slog our way through badly designed websites on a daily basis, just to get things done on the net. Thus, it is welcome news to hear that a few fed-up usability experts have started to do something about it by redesigning and hosting their own version of what they believe these sites ought to be. 

The companies who own the original sites on which these crusaders have done their guerrilla redesigns are not amused. If this is what it takes for companies to realize that bells and whistles and flash and sizzle aren't what is fundamentally important on the web, then I say to these usability champions, "HURRAH!" and "keep it up! Change is coming, thanks to you".
