What is MySpace.com's Excuse?
MySpace is popular. MySpace has lots of funding backed by huge investors. MySpace probably has lots of developers. Yet, their site seems to always have so many basic issues. When I went there today, they had skinned their home page for the new movie, "The Reaping". The only problem is, you can't even read their fancy page background because it requires a screen resolution in excess of 1152 pixels wide (what I'm running right now). 800 x 600 used to be the standard years ago, now it's probably safe to say that 1024 is a good base standard... and at that resolution their background is even more unreadable. Do they have zero QA people? Their developers are probably running huge-ass resolutions on their huge-ass dual flat screen monitors, but QA people -- managers -- executives -- should notice these things. They're so trivial. Anyhow, I'm always noticing other little bugs and other issues like this that cause me to ask myself, "Are they totally oblivious to basic web development concepts?"

I know NOTHING about computers and web sites, but MySpace always seems to have something down and I don't like how you have to delete comments one by one. It frustrates me SO MUCH.
I am glad you have normal people test your site and tell you "this is difficult" or "I like this..." it makes it much more user-friendly.
