How Not To Suck At Banner Ads— Uniqlo Breaks It Down

Just the latest in a string of awesomeness from Uniqlo. It’s not often that banner ads do something other than clutter up and derail user experience on your site. While you could argue even this example is still a bit noisy, can’t argue the fact that it appears to have worked, and clearly added to rather than taking away from site experience.

Nice example of rethinking an experience that many people have written off. And showing that an idea doesn’t always have to be overproduced or epically done to be successful.

urdoingitwrong: tripadvisor and facebook connect

Happy to see that TripAdvisor had incorporated Facebook Connect functionality….at least until I tried to connect.

Forcing me to sign up for your site, before I can use fb connect? Whole point of it is to simplify the signup process and quickly get the user into the site experience. At the least, I should be able to connect with facebook first, then perhaps add a couple details (if I choose to). I love tripadvisor, and so I was actually quite surprised to see something like this.

Sorry but….ur doin it wrong.
