Using old sites for benchmarking

In attending a UIE webinar two weeks ago I think it was (on designing to accommodate information foraging), it became apparent to all of us in the room that the site examples were about 10 years old, dotcom era relics already relegated to the historical dustbin of the Internet Archive. Was the information relevant? Of course it was: the older sites tend to have a higher number of apparent design problems and so are quite easy pickins. Besides, you don’t necessarily want to give your work away as I occasionally do on the site by using a contemporary, live example. So raid that Archive!

In other news, I’m a little late on this reviewing of Montauk Sofa, but, rather busy here at the Empire of Lampert, and also, getting married in a few weeks. Forgive me.
