It's all about Semantics
I’ve always been so harsh on ITP’s publishings online, not here to look back and apologize. And no, I ain’t picking on them, they’re the only real publishers in the region, they’ve got to get it right! Here’s today’s thing, “Loading XML”, “Loading Interface”, ... ITWeekly informs you all that.
Here’s a series of pre-loading screens at IT Weekly:
How relevant is it to tell the reader what you’re loading? Well it is, but how relevant is it to tell the user that you are loading “XML”? Or “Interface”? I haven’t read ITWeekly for a long long time, exactly after they stopped the Print version and started this hard-to-use digital thing.
It’s all about the Semantics, start from page one of the magazine, they have to force the name “eMagazine” and show it there in your face right away. I would’ve loved the name four years ago, but hell, is there anything non-digital? or is there any term that some entrepreneur did not turn it into e-Something?
I still haven’t gotten over the Advanced Tools at ITP.net’s website. Dial ITP.net in your address bar and be amazed by how you’re welcomed with an advert before reaching to the homepage. A total disaster!
