I know I might be added to a lot many user’s distrust list but alas I have no other choice. Talk about the good indian websites, I will say I can count them on my fingers. Talk about good ideas on the net and the story repeats itself. I think mouthshut.com or it ought have been mouthwideopen.com well this can be highly debated and can itself be one review, still is a great site and a great idea BUT in my opinion I think it needs to do some homework on the technical side.
What’s missing -
To start with I will like to see a autologin feature or in other words ’Please remember me’ I tend to forget my passwords.
Please don’t put that silly logo of yours as my picture. Atleast give me a choice of characters(I don’t wanna upload my pic, u know privacy is imp these days). Be a copycat get a clue from yahoo games.
No general search only a product or person search is available. Atleast add a feature search.
Above all TELL ME how can I add a new product which is not yet listed on MoUthSHut.com. If that feature is not supported yet, it will be a nice addition.
Why is it only People 2 People when it make more sense to make it a People 2 People and People to Businesses community.
To end it with a bang I will suggest to the poor MS team to go out have some visibility; Mr CEO if you are listening please take ur kids (MS team) out and get some publicity and PLEASE don’t keep your MOUTHS SHUT and yeah how can I not thank you for your lovely efforts.
Response to the comments ->
Well I have still not been able to figure our how to reply to the comments made on my review, so I am putting it here.
IE6 and Netscape (I believe you mean Netscape 6.0+, because thats the version that supports the said functionality). To put it a bit harshly I will say that if the MS site banks on the above two browsers completely then they might be losing a big chunk of the european market which uses the opera browser. Anyway, you still can not expect the user to switch on this dangerously unsecured provisions in his browser for security sake. Security ... does that ring a bell.
I am so happy that yahoo was not designed like MS otherwise I might have ended up spending my whole life just trying to figure how to check weather on yahoo. I should not be so harsh, but the aim should be to go the ms (microsoft) way in GUI design and make it more user intuitive and friendly. Please understand that this is a website not an application and that too a TAX application that I need to spend hours just to figure out my way around it.
People to People and People to Business point meant to some extent that we need to involve business in some way, they need to know what we think about them. Our aim is not just to classify the good and the bad and ofcourse the evil but to let them know what their consumers think about them and what they expect from them. Also how can they provide better service and consumer satisfaction. That’s what I think is the ultimate goal ’’To make the consumer the king’’ and not the other way and till the businesses sit up and take stock of what people are churning out here on this forum, I don’t think it’s going to be of much use in the long run.
My mistake there ... my apologies for the same.
A simple problem with the search engine is demonstrated below -
I read spokes comments and I thought what a guy, let me read all his comments on all the reviews. Well, I noticed he signs of all comments as ’’spooks’’. The simplest way seems to be to search for ’’spooks’’ on the site. Now dear try that and see the results.
