A quick question:

Why do all ad/marketing/pr/web agency sites suck? For both personal and professional reasons I browse such sites on a regular basis, and the ONLY reaction they give me is to completely lose confidence that they have the slightest clue what they are doing.

There are exceptions, generally among very small shops like my friends at Plank, and even more so 37Signals, to single out two of the decent ones. But the big shops - they display nothing but complete ignorance of the web; which, in 2004, is equal to ignorance of the media and marketing world in general.

Patrick Griffiths of HTML Dog

is starting to look at HTML and CSS for Mobiles. If you’re been following the discourse over the use of CSS and standard, mostly-table-less XHTML for any amount of time, you’ve certainly bumped into the argument - one of the strongest, in theory - that future non-laptop/desktop computers accessing sites will benefit from such techniques. Griffiths is putting the proposition to the test.

BTW, I hate it when articles on the web are undated. There is no way other than looking at the URL of this piece to know when this was published, and even that is not clear. I think it’s recent but there’s no way to know for sure.

We’re mad as hell,
