The dangerous gap between those who make software, and those who use it
http://j.mp/OWkUdS (Elezea)
"For the last example we'll go even further down the technical totem
pole, lest we forget what goes on in the bottom half of the Internet.
In 2010 ReadWriteReb wrote an article about Facebook Connect and AOL
Instant Messenger called Facebook Wants To Be Your One True Login. But
their SEO was so good that if you went to Google and typed in
"Facebook login", that article would be the first result. It wasn't
long before they started receiving comments like this ... That's
right - people thought that they were on Facebook, and that the "new
design" had inexplicably taken away the ability to log in. Things got
so bad that they had to put up this message in the middle of the
article, which is still there today.."
