AllTheWeb Redesigns to Look More Like
Google 03/13/2003 10:24 AM
AllTheWeb, which you might recall was just bought by Google's largest competitor, has redesigned to look more like Google. From SearchDay: "There is no reason to reinvent the wheel," said Peter Bauert, Director of Business Development for FAST. "Having said that, there's no way you can compete on look and feel alone." SearchDay adds: "Coming hard on the heels of last week's purchase of AlltheWeb by Overture, it's fair to ask whether this change has been prompted by AlltheWeb's new owner, to make the search engine more Google-like. Absolutely not, says Tim Mayer, FAST's vice president web search." AllTheWeb has a page on their recent changes....

alltheweb goes standards compliant

alltheweb goes standards compliant 11/18/2002 12:58 PM
This seems to be happening a lot lately, another major player in the web world has gone standards compliant. Alltheweb is a popular search engine, and they have made their site XHTML and CSS compliant. They also allow you to totally customize the look and feel of the page through customizing the style sheet (as well as picking predefined ones). Gazingus has a Google bookmarklet that allows you to quickly and easily search Google. It will find highlighted text in the current page and search for that text, or upon not finding any highlighted text, will prompt you for a search term. I have modified that bookmarklet for Alltheweb, drag it into your favorites or do what you please with it: Search alltheweb

I just got back from inspecting the new Fog Creek Office, a sunny loft in the shmatta district, with the architect. It's going to make a really nice office when we're finished building it out, with private offices, a living room area, kitchenette, and, budget permitting, a pool table and plasma TV. Here's what I told the architect:

• private windowed offices are non-negotiable
• we need three times as many power outlets as anyone would think. I'm sick of power strips. I have ten things plugged in right at my desk. I specified 4 outlets every foot, is that absurd?
• I want to be able to pull my own lan, telephone, fiber, and cable TV wires. Even if they're exposed.

My latest article, “Building Communities with Software,” was sent to email subscribers earlier today.

If you did not get it and expected to get it, you're probably having problems with overenthusiastic spam filters. I got lots of bounces, mostly from Fortune 500 type companies, rejecting the message, because of "inappropriate content" or because their automatic filters had decided it was spam. Some of them complained about "taboo," other's complained about "hard core." Most didn't tell me. Such is the state of email today.

If you did not get the article and you want it, you can read a shorter, sanitized version online. But it still contains the word "taboo" so if that offends you you may want to avert your eyes!

AngryCoder: “FogBUGZ is very well designed, and virtually bug free. Frankly, if you are in the market for a defect tracking solution, you can’t do much better than FogBUGZ. It is by far the best solution on the market right now, and is also very attractively priced.” Thanks!

Joseph Jones, who wrote the review, didn’t like the perceived lack of customizability in FogBUGZ. I hear ya. This was one of those agonizing decisions for us. It’s a tradeoff between implementing features that make the sale, versus implementing features that, we think, will make people who use our software love it, which helps in the long term. At the time it was discussed in depth here on Joel on Software.

Take, for example, a typical report a bug tracking package gives you that shows you the number of bugs generated per day per programmer. Typical bad managers will use that tool to punish programmers with high bug counts or reward programmers with low bug counts. As a result, every time a tester tries to enter a bug, the programmer will argue about it. “That's not really a bug.” “Please don't enter it, I'll fix it on the side for you.” Eventually the bug tracking system subverts itself. That's not FogBUGZ's fault, but there you have it. Nobody wants to use it, they never upgrade, they don't buy more licenses when they get more programmers, and we lose the potential word of mouth.

The current system, in which we expect FogBUGZ users to have enlightened development processes, makes us miss out on initial sales but it makes our existing customers happier. And they tell friends, and they buy more and more licences, and all is good. We've found that anyone who has been using FogBUGZ and moves on to a new job that doesn't have bug tracking will recommend FogBUGZ at their new job, which is one reason our sales are up by about 200% since last year.

But this is all, to some extent, speculation. I can't prove anything here. Design decisions are hard that way.
