Only 4.13% of the Web Is Standards-Compliant

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-woulda-guessed-less dept.

Death Metal writes "Browser maker Opera has published the early results of an ongoing study that aims to provide insight into the structure of Internet content. To conduct this research project, Opera created the Metadata Analysis and Mining Application (MAMA), a tool that crawls the web and indexes the markup and scripting data from approximately 3.5 million pages."

    tabbed paradigm

    Who do you think you are?
    Surely not Kuhn
    You probably thought it deep
    When Neo said "no spoon"

    I'd finish this poem
    but there's no word to rhyme
    with so pretentious a concept
    as 'tabbed paradigm'

    I wholeheartedly agree with this.

    I encourage every web developer out there to bug IE users into updating.
    And by bug, i mean annoy.
    And by annoy, i mean putting a little box above every single page for IE, bright red double border (2 divs, margin internal to 1-2em), bright red text stating "YOU SUCK FOR USING INTERNET EXPLORER, UPDATE NOW [links to alternative browser alliance or similar sites]"

    Seriously, do it!
    DO IT NOW!
    THINK OF THE WEB DEVE..oh wait.

    There's nothing subtle and inoffensive about telling someone to change their browser.

    What if everytime you stopped at a gas station, the attendant said "Your Ford sucks, why don't you go visit the Toyota dealership down the road, where my brother Ackbar works"... I would choke that little he-bitch!

    People who use IE are often quite happy with it. They don't need to be beaten over the head with Firefox ads.
