For this homework, I want you to think about how individual web-sites
use the web. Again, feel free to work in small groups. This homework
will be graded and is due Friday, December 10th, at noon.

<p>The web is a relatively new tool. Some web-sites do a better job
using it than others. There are two ways in which I want you to think
about this issue. 

<p>Some people may use a hammer to kill a fly and some people may use
a pocket knife to cut a tree, both are not good usages of the
respective tools. So there are two issues here: one of them is design,
basically a user-interface issue. The other one is the larger issue of
using the web for things that make sense, in terms of services
provided, usage, ...



<p>
In order to develop criteria for good usage of the web, come up with
examples for good, bad, and ugly web-sites. Provide the URL as well as
a detailed discussion of what you find laudable or
objectionable. Note: It is quite conceivable that an individual
web-site falls into several of the categories. When it comes to the
exercise, I want you to think about the tools that the web-sites use
to do certain things, as well as whether it seems appropriate for the
kind of service provided. Feel free to be subtle.
