Week 12 Report


Features I liked and why: I thought Interview's transparent Privacy Policy was pretty cool. A lot of times, Web site feature their privacy policies as PDF files or something that's inaccessible. Interview, on the other hand, presents its policy in a manner resembling the rest of the Web site and in lamans terms, which is nice. It explains what a cookie is, how it uses them to target advertising, and explains how the information may be distributed to third parties. While I may not agree with all of their data transmittal practices, I like that Interview is transparent about it.

What's not working with the site:

The same things as last time. I haven't really seen anything much that isn't working right now than what has already been suggested.
What's not there that I'd like to see:I'd really like to see them offer their newsletters. As of now there are two versions you sign up for, but none ever get delivered, which is disheartening.

How the competitors' sites compare:Most of the competition's Web sites are fairing the same. None have really redesigned their sites, a la Vanity Fair, but they all seem to be progressing in their own way.
