common rant about LY
 

i just had the privilage of using LY's web site for the first time. :td:
now i know why the regulars on this board hate it so much.
it is a shame that a major company has a web site that looks like a 6 year old made it.
shame on you El AL

you were able to use it?

its chara!!!!!!!!

It's not just shameful that Elal is a major company and has such a crappy website, but even more so, it is shameful because Israel is a country known for its software and hardware engineers. Where are the Israeli people doing a redesign which they can then present to Elal as a replacement? (As a comparandum, this is what happened with the Hebrew interface for the iPod -- it was written by an indidivual and released as a download, and then Yeda saw the light and decided to use his work as the basis for their own, AFAIK...)

Italy is known for it's great food yet there are bad restaurants in Italy. France is known for their wines but yet there are bad wines coming from there as well. This logic does not work.

maybe we should make an "flyelal.com" website and sell their tickets :)

It wasn't an explanation but more a rallying cry that many people are out there who can do better and so they should try and create an alternative (like a putative "flyelal.com" mentioned above)!

Also, this is an Israeli national symbol, despite privatisation, and hence should reflect Israel's strengths. What about starting an Israeli "Appellation Controllee" for good website design? Today's elal.com of course would not receive one!

Israir's website sucks, too. Haaretz.com is only barely passable.

Come to think of it, are there ANY decent Israeli websites out there? It seems like they were all designed by a 12-year-old with a Microsoft promotional toolkit (since most of these sites are 10x worse in Firefox than on IE).

most Israeli websites only work well on IE on PC.

www.ynetnews.com only works on safari, not firefox. Rest.co.il works only on safari, not firefox, and still without the proper functionality. its sad.

LOOOL Entropy you speak Arabic? Chara is a naughty word.

chara is hebrew now too!
we've occupied the 'kef' parts of arabic too!!!

most of my hebrew vocabulary is bad words, many of which are VERY bad words!

LOL I did not know that Chara is also Hebrew.

I didn't know it's arabic ... :D

Talking about bad websites, try the new beta system for Egged bus timetables (only in Hebrew) - A 10 year old could have made a better interface than this one.
