Pet Peeve #1: People


Pet Peeve #1:

People that ask you to register a new, shorter, better, easier-to-remember domain name, but never update any of their materials to identify themselves with it. For instance: one of my clients is a trade show which takes place here where I work. The trade show is sponsored, in part, by 3 different divisions of my department. Two of those divisions have updated their websites to point to the correct website. One has not. Guess which one? The one who asked for the changes to begin with, and also the one whose site I have no control over.

Pet Peeve #2:

People that copy faulty files from the website of aforementioned trade-show and host them on their own website, rather than focusing traffic at the trade-show site itself. This old copy of the file lists incorrect contact information for registration. Lovely.
