Slashdot's Vastu

nanopolitan writes "Wired has a story on harmonious website design according to Vastu, 'the Indian counterpart of feng shui'. The graphic accompanying the story has an analysis of Slashdot's design by Dr. Smita Narang. Her verdict? This site is 'in desperate need of balance'." From the article: "Thirty-year-old Smita Narang is rapidly becoming one of India's hottest Web designers. Her method: applying vastu shastra, the Indian counterpart of feng shui, to the online realm. The process entails mapping page attributes - HTML, colors, graphics - to elements like fire, water, and air. 'Any disturbance of these established elements can cause an imbalance in the site that directly affects its business,' Narang says."

Re:Feng Shui is correct

[kentrel]

What you CLEARLY don't understand is that anything based on a false premise is not correct, and is not a science. You already acknowledge the entire basis for feng shui (energies, urm.. NOT psychology) is not correct. Therefore anything based on that is false and immediately suspect.

What are you doing on Slashdot if you don't understand basic scientific principles like this? The only psychology aspect of this is the gullibility of human beings.
