Web peeves

How many times have you looked at a product listing on a web store site, and wished you could see a bit more detail?  But, aha!, there's a link below the product photo that says "Larger photo".  So you click the link ...

... and up pops a window with the exact same photo, the exact same size, just with more whitespace around it.

NOT USEFUL!

Web retailers:  If you don't have a larger photo, don't pretend you do.  All it does is piss off customers, who — even if they still buy the product — will now probably do their best to buy it somewhere ELSE.

Add to that out-of-focus photographs. Blurry photographs.

Sure, I'm going to purchase your product, the out-of-focus, blurred from shake thingbat.

And thanks, I really get off on crappy photos.
