The global provider of mobile multimedia devices seems to have IT problems. Sony Ericsson’s homepage is unreachable.
I’m not sure how long their website has been down, but here’s the situation anway:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/ redirects to http://www.sonyericsson.com/null and no display whatsoever.
While the actual website is sitting at this url http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=global&lc=en&ver=4001&template=ph1&zone=ph

Let’s wait and see how long will it take for Sony Ericsson’s Web developers to fix this problem.

Google streams Audio Adsense, is it rumors or true.

Website owners or managers !!! can you hear me !!!

Prepare your site for some additional Audio and movie Ads.

I had my thoughts (when google bought dMarc in 2006) and it is true that Google hired for their Google Audio department some people back in Arpil 2006 but Google had some ideas for audio search back in 2004 and my cool idea for Google would be :

“”If i think audio, I will connect it to any online radio, streaming, podcast,public voice chat and/or mobile audio ads.

SMS for free using Google SMS service and each time you open any receipt sms, you can get an audio ad at the begining or the end of this sms.

Hej, its my idea, call me if you need to hear more about it (not to hear any of my audi ads) “”

I am always using my phone to check my Gmail but i had previously some major problems:

Gmail is a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that email can be more intuitive, efficient and useful. And maybe even fun. Since Gmail got started, people have been spreading the fun through invitations. So if you want an account, just ask someone you know with Gmail to invite you. And why not? After all, Gmail has:

Previous experience and case studies allowed me to put those general points when looking to enhance your usability.Enhance all trust and action factors and please check all those points when Testing any online or Mobile Interface :

Some sites provide a wealth of information but I found they have

1. Weak navigation support and in-site search function
2. Inconsistent branch homepages derived from inconsistent branch operations
3. Poor interactive application generating negative user experiences, and
4. Lack of content to assist potential customers starting a business.
5. Excessive flashing advertisements, scrolling texts and moving graphics

Hold and maintain an effective forum to provide online customer support.

Recommendation to improve the usability of your homepage :

1. Reduce flashing and moving graphics
2. Enhance search and navigation functions
3. Improve interactive applications
4. Establish web design guidelines
5. Increase business banking content, and
6. Standardise branch operations.
