Great homepage image

13/12/2006

I saw aircontractors.com writ large on the side of a jet in an airport I passed through over the weekend, and had to plug the URL into my browser when I got home; turns out they’re an airfreight company with a few dozen jets.

Their website isn’t brilliant from a usability point of view, but the homepage is very impressive because of a series of impressive images that rotate every time you visit. It’s a pity they didn’t get a designer with the same skill level, the site could easily be an award winner with that kind of imagery available!

You gotta love this piece about Craigslist in the NYT, demonstrating a major culture clash between financial analysts and Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster. You can almost see them leaving the conference scratching their heads. Hopefully they’ll scratch all the way through to their brains and kill themselves.

(Yes, I run a business myself; no, I’m not being ironic. Not everything has to be about money.)
