What's with website?


Well my friends, we are all here because of the internet and web pages,their front doors to the cyber world and our common topic of Audio is a super-narrow niche.

So I have a question - 

What manufacturer's or seller's internet front doors to the web are great?   Which are crap?  And why?

Which sites are easy and fun to use?  Which are torture get what you want?

When someone says "That site SUCKs" what does that really mean?

Thanks

Never trust a guy that opens a thread with:

Well my friends, we are all here because of.....

I'm here for the cheap drinks but if the OP wants to pay for them, then by all means, please continue on about your site.

All the best,

I actually visited their place a couple of years ago. Impressive for sure in a museum type of way. 

Again I apologize for attempting to gain an education in an area in which I have a  legitimate interest. My question was about what that makes a website noteworthy and interesting? 

Having a site naturally makes me want to learn more about what is does to the viewer, how it captures attention, how it educates.  I have read a lot about the effects of a site but most applies of it applies to mass-marketing - audio such as we practice is a narrow niche market, tribal in most ways.  As a cultural anthropologist as well as physicist by education I concluded who better to ask direct question of the the viewers of such sites.  I have watched internal discussions on Audiogon about itself and failed to realize futility of direct questions to the forum, I misread the underlying needs of the first layer of the community and shall not make that mistake again as I see that this is not a place for serious thought of such issues. 

Again, my apologies for consuming your time and I shall go elsewhere seeking  knowledge and thus wisdom.

I wish you all a good day and a better life.  Regards,  Barry Thornton, AustinaudioWorks.com

Wow! Tough crowd.

As mentioned the dealers up in here should essentially stay out of forums.

Manufacturers should be doing their homework elsewhere.

Seems like just a few of them know how to stay  neutral regarding their own business interests while participating in discussions.
