You’re reading Signal v. Noise, a publication about the web by Basecamp since 1999. Happy !

on 25 Nov 08Yeah, but http://www.opentable.com/ looks like a link farming site at first glance.

on 25 Nov 08Wow, opentable.com does look like a link farm if you just skim it over. Great site and concept for sure…might want to refresh the home page design.

on 25 Nov 08They certainly should do something with their design. It looks like another parked domain with a link farm on it. Awful. They must be loosing lots of first-time visitors. I would like to see their bounce rates.

on 25 Nov 08Agree with other comments, very ugly site! I also find the UI too US only (well, I don’t count the tiny area with International links) focussed. It’ll never take off outside the US with an interface like that.
