It is has become nearly impossible
to
contact a webmaster of a corporate
website. If it is possible, it has to go
through some webform. I hate that.
A button in your website launches
your favourite mailreader with an
empty message directed at the
webmaster of the website you were
on.
You write your comments, complain
about all the things that are not
W3C
compliant. Perhaps even include a
template with defects and
complaints
you write beforehand.
The trick is to reach the webmaster.
Once upon a time, long ago, some
of
us can perhaps remember, the
webmaster@ address would work.
I
see some old men with grey beards
on the back row nodding. Hi there!
Thank you for being with us! Please
annotate later on with some
anecdotes from the good old days!
But nowadays it is practically
impossible
to reach *anyone* that has even the
slightest involvement with the
website.
The e-mail you wrote then
goes to a database, much like the
Halfbakery. Before the @-sign the
name of the domain is put, for
example: voyages-
sncf.com@webmasterscaffold.net
The e-mail you address to the
webmaster becomes public on
webmasterscaffold.net and can
be annotated by and voted on by
other
users. Instead of fishbones and
croissants there will be guillotines
and rotten tomatoes for the
webmaster.
A unique message is sent to the
webmaster@ address when an entry
is made on webmasterscaffold.net.
If a
reply comes from the webmaster@
address, responding to the
complaints, the entire entry for that
website will be deleted from the
database and the reply will be
redirected to the person who wrote
the complaint.
Links will point to the company
that made the website at hand.
People can upload screendumps to
illustrate their complaints as links.
Top-100 lists will name the worst
websites, the worst
webdevelopement companies and
so
forth.
