July's results are in...

Best and Worst uses of Web Technology for July:

Best

RSS Feeds on virginia.gov. The only question I still have is why other state sites aren't using them?

Online Fishing and Hunting. Finally it occured to someone that people who like to sit in the woods all day just to kill something don't want to go out in public to buy their license to do so.


Worst

VITA's e-newsletter. Really, who uses PDFs for newsletters on the Web? Do these folks even know what the Web is for? They could just as easily have made it a Web page, which would have made the newsletter prettier, cleaner, more accessible, and easy to search and archive. The only reason for creating a pdf version of a newsletter that I can think of is that VITA didn't have anyone on hand who knew HTML.

Secretary of Technology's Website. What exactly does Secretary Huang do, now that all the important decisions in IT are made by the CIO? It certainly doesn't involve the Internet, whatever it is, as his site has nothing more advanced than the early '90s.


Cheers, and wait for August's report! Remember, there's no shame if you play the game, but I won't bite if you do it right.
