World Wide Wonk page 2
World Wide Web? World Wide Wonk more likely.
Let’s start page two off with Microsoft =) Who are never far from our thoughts. The following Web certificate error comes from Firefox when I tried to sign into MSN Passport:
This is because Microsoft certified themselves. As insane.
The following MSN Personals advert shows probably the worst case of string truncation ever.
Below is a good example of how not to title a link on a Web page.
Apparently, I am forbidden to log out of ntl webmail. A prisoner of ntl forever!

I like the “more…” in the middle box below. I mean, you just can’t get enough undefined can you?
Group check?
Finally, a classic. Apparently Webmastermac cannot find the 404 page. Except that I didn’t ask it to find the 404 page. You’d think someone would have checked this from the start?
