The Best of the Worst of the Web
"Anyone who would choose in the chaos of our modern productions : 'The worst hundred books'
and would publish the list, will make to the future generation a real and lasting service"
Oscar Wilde
Our purpose here is to apply this thought of the great Wilde to the Net.
Indeed how many idiotic pages, empty and without interest, slow to come are they on the net ???
We often talk about quantity for the Web (number of new servers each day, etc...)
but never about quality !!!! (it's a common modern mistake)
Thus we decided to institute like a permanent competition of the most useless pages of the Web,
and that through few categories.
You can, if you want so, vote
for the page which has your preference (or your distaste !!!) and/or
propose other pages which you think they are especially
bad.
You can right now see our selection of pages, or
read more about our philosophy about that.
Our philosophy
Our purpose is not to criticize the work of other people, or their thoughts. It's anyhow
a practice we do not like, because we don't fell ourselves 'superior' enough to judge other.
What we want to 'denounce' at our scale, it's the pages of people, which seem to have just
discovered a new fashion : publish on the Net, like to have pogs in modern
schools. In those pages, we can often find lists of links without any textual contribution, nor description
of what we can find beyond those links, or vast (50 Ko or 100 Ko) images
(very often bad photographs with awful scanner) without any interest.
There are the pages in perpetual reconstruction, too : it's a positive fact, but if there is really
something finally, at the opposite of some of them which seem to be forgotten by their creator
from long time ago.
As for us, we do not think (with reason would you say maybe !!) to have the most perfect page of
the world, we only try to bring our informations, our passions and our hates on the Net, with confidence
in your indulgence and in your interest !!!
Categories
Hypertext
without text : THE classical danger , to do a page
which only aim is to point upwards other pages. The author brings nothing, no text, no image which
will make his page more like him than someone else.
Image you'll lost us :
forgetting that people seeing a page are, in general, connected with the phone to the server,
it leads to the use of vast images in quantity and not in quality, which will only make people angry
to wait a long time to see.... a disaster !!!
The forgotten page :
putting a page on the net, it's good, but you must deal with it, and then it's better. Check the links,
be sure to have a good disposition and lisibility, it's the minimum !!
The professionnals :
as much you can forgive many things to a net lover, by lack of time or motivation, as much
it's hard to do so for the societies' pages. It's typical of the fashion effect.
It's not enough to give few information, directly taken from a brochure. You have to understand the
Net, and to propose original things.
and, of course,
The Whole : this
catgory is only for the pages which we'll suit in more than one of the precedent categories,
which is not a good sign !!!
....our according selection.
