mccloud224:You mean not having a link to go back to the homepage is not needed |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by dgreatrock(m): 5:20pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
Slow down guys, first thing first! now, what is heuristic or whatever you call it? Mind the grammer you folks land here, we cannot afford a crash of this multi-billion site |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 5:22pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
You mean not having a link to go back to the homepage is not needed @tboy1 Let's get one thing straight.No one's perfect.You can't have everything in one website.The home page link might need looking into but people still won't be satisfied.They will ask why is there no forum or chat room or download section or Nairaland link section.Please will always have something to say shaaaa. Why don't you people ask Seun why there is no private chat room section on this website or why we can't send private messages to each other except on the forum page? YOU CANNOT HAVE EVERYTHING.Appreciate the little good when you see it. Good God ! ! ! |

When will people learn to appreciate and stop running their mouths? People criticizing,how many have u done or how many can u do? Basketmouth was in Uk when the proposal was made,he was in Uk when the site was created. As a matter of fact,the initial site contained less flash effects but Basketmouth said he wanted something better. He saw this and asked it to be published. Appreciate and stop hating. Basketmouth is cool with it,so deal with it! |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 5:28pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
When will people learn to appreciate and stop running their mouths? @nana Thank you jare.Speak the truth to these hypocrites.They are just like their leaders.They don't like to hear the truth. |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by yawatide(f): 5:29pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
maybe not a heuristic one but definitely a usability test should have been carried out at the very least. I am liking most of the comments so far. Most reflect what I wanted to say but didn't want to, so as not to influence anyone. Please keep them coming. dgreatone: no, not my competitor. My thing with these reviews is that I want our sites to compete that of others in other countries, if not be outright better. In no way, do I intend to do bad belle. We have reached a stage where "it's okay" won't cut it, in terms of web development. The site is aesthetically good but as many have pointed out, it is lacking in terms of usability. basket mouth may be cool with it but the site isn't for him but his fans. If his fans can't access it, of what use is it? Will he be the sole visitor? |

yawa-ti-de: Macc did your hear this? |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by Jelectric(m): 5:39pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
d site is da bomb , |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 5:41pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
Macc did your hear this? @dgreatrock Yeah i heard, and I'm getting around the website pretty easy.Do you know some people have issues navigating face book? It took me quite a while to know how to "quote" a reply on nairaland.Also took me a while in getting around starting a new topic on this site.It's called PATIENCE.You want to know how to navigate the website?Simple. BE PATIENT AND EXPLORE THE WEBSITE ! ! ! |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 5:43pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
Posted by: J.electric @dgreatrock Did you hear this man? What goes around comes around. . .lol Some love it, some hate on it.That's how the cookie crumbled. . . lol |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by tboy1(m): 5:50pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
nana:no one is hating I believe the dude did a good job but i wrote its was not easy to navigate - That was what i noticed If i cant navigate around the site, shouldnt i point it out- did you see the first post at all? I also noticed u catchin feelins because u know basket mouth, well miss I dont care if bmouth proposed this in Namibia, dis has nothing to do with basketmouth - we're discussin' the website. mccloud224:lol i really dont know why you're getting worked up over this site ooo because even the designer will take this points in a positive way. P.S: I neva wrote anything bad bout this site except the navigating issue so chill out homie anyways here is a vid of basketmouth to relax [flash=250,200] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfDuC9gHPVo&hl=en&fs=1&[/flash] |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by dgreatrock(m): 5:53pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
@Mcc Did it take this website a while to load? |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 5:57pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
lol i really dont know why you're getting worked up over this site ooo because even the designer will take this points in a positive way. @tboy1 You finally got the message.All you need to do is take a chill pill like i did,kick back,relax and explore the website.Simple.Within minutes, you'll get used to the navigation.Is that so hard hommie?Or you rather nag about the navigation all day long?Which? |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 5:59pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
@Mcc @dgreatrock It took less than 5 seconds over here.What connection are you using?I've been using Cobra net for years (broad band).They are pretty good. |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by dgreatrock(m): 6:04pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
They are not in warri. i am using multilinks. it took me almost 90secs |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 6:11pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
They are not in warri. i am using multilinks. @dgreatrock I presume it's multilinks dial up.If that's the case, you cant' complain.I was on multilinks dial up way back in the day and their service could be pretty annoying especially when it rains (once rain start, network don go be that). There should be a few broad band networks in your region.If you are willing to upgrade, do some research.Dem dey.Just do some checkings |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by tboy1(m): 6:15pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
mccloud224: If you know the designer just advice him to take a look at all the post . . . i promise you, he'll appreciate it |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by gongoaso1: 6:24pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
good to see positives roll in. the initial barrage of criticism has died since peeps started analysing b4 conclusion. i mean check out the first page and you wonder why common reasoning flew outta the window. about navigation, well i navigated without hassles. i believe this borders on how fluent you are with the internet. i mean someone here mentioned people have issues navigating facebook. tboy1: you definitely wont blame seun if some newbies find nairaland or zuckerberg for facebook, if some peeps find their sites difficult to navigate or accesss due to their archiac systems now, will ya? |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by okeey(m): 6:26pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
nice my guy,basket mouth is making it hurt |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by muffins(f): 6:42pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
Basketmouth is a drop dead clown. |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 6:50pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
If you know the designer just advice him to take a look at all the post . . . i promise you, he'll appreciate it @tboy1 No worries.I will do that as soon as you inform Bill Gates to make MSN chat rooms free like it used to be back in the day.I will do that as soon as you tell Seun to enable private messaging on this forum (now that's something I'll want to see. . .lol) Like i said before, YOU CANNOT EXPECT TO HAVE EVERYTHING.Come to think of it, how many people bother with the home page issue?Personally, i right-click on the page i want and open up elsewhere.I don't even bother using the home icon on Nairaland.Nonetheless, i do agree that the home issue should be looked into but that is not a yard stick to discredit that website. The site has been easy to navigate on my end.If anyone feels different, too bad ! ! ! |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 6:56pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
@gongo aso good to see positives roll in. Abi ooo! It was utterly pathetic. about navigation, well i navigated without hassles. Don't blame them.They would rather criticize the website instead of taking time to see what's up.If it was a "who- wants- to- be -a -billionaire" website now, all of them would be busying registering and won't have any time to comment on NL . . . lol Human beings.I tire for dem. |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by yawatide(f): 7:36pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
I think what is happening here is some posters are used to "how we go do?" syndrome and accept things as is. It is like going to a cafe with slow connection and most of the ppl there are patiently sitting for things to download (I have seen this) and when you complain, you are looked at as if you have leprosy. The site is aesthetically sound. In fact, to me, it has pushed the boundaries. Having said that, it is lacking in many areas of usability: 1) It takes a while to load 2) There is no point having 2 landing pages. Just show me the home page 3) When checking videos for example, I have to "chase" the thumbnails. This shouldn't be. Just show me the videos 4) There is no obvious way to click "back" I will just stop at these 4. Again, this site is for his fans. If you choose to suffer, fine. I want a site that is straightforward and easy to navigate. Web development is both an art and a science. You don't just do things because you can. we live in a world where ppl need instant gratification. On websites, the name of the game is reducing the number of clicks as much as possible. There is a popular web dev book, for those in the know. It is called, "Don't make me think". Perhaps some of us on this thread should go get it and read it. |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 7:45pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
@: yawa-ti-de Please go to www.sony.com and try opening the list of "home theaters".Tell me how "easy" it was for you to do this.If basket mouth's website takes you a life time to open, Sony's website will take a millennium.Like i said earlier on, if it takes time to load on your system, it's either due to your system or the internet connection.I have no problems opening it here at all.I'm surfing through it like it's holiday season in Hawaii.Not long ago, people complained of how "complex" you tube was.I still have problems logging into my bank online.Every website is different abeg.You just can't expect every website you come across to be simple php based scripts. Shikena! |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by gongoaso1: 8:05pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
@mccloud well curiosity got the better of me, i had to check the sony webbie assignment going by some logic here, sony never considered people living in nigeria when developing their website yawa-ti-de: you have obviously been doing this for a while the points you raised 1) blame your system or internet connection 2) try the sony webbie assignment. 3) think of the chase as part of humor, IMO, it is 4) i'll agree on this. this isn't a case of 'how we go do' and accepting mediocrity. we are not saying the site is flawless, the best out there, there is definitely room for improvement. |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by yawatide(f): 8:11pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
2 wrongs don't make a right. This is yet another flaw in some of us as Nigerians. Just cos oyibo site is bad, it doesn't mean ours has to be bad as well. Just cos facebook looks the way it is, therefore we have to use it as an excuse to develop "skinny" websites. This isn't a philosophy and logic class where we have to prove me wrong by contradiction. I never said that basket mouth's site is all bad. I said it is actually nice-looking but could use some improvements. Again, no need to google the world of websites to "make yawa look bad" or whatever words you choose to use. Step back and evaluate my comments on the merit. The site could use some improvements and I stand by that statement. |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by mccloud224(m): 8:36pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
@gongo aso @mccloud Abi ooo! Maybe sony forgot to do "heuristic evaluation" like the "English teacher" said earlier on. . .lol you have obviously been doing this for a while Abeg tell them.Me i no understand all this "something must be wrong there" arguments.No one says the site na the best in internet history.What we are saying is that the site is cool,classy and deserves acknowledgment NOT all this "bad belle" hypocritism we have been seeing all through this post.Haba. Don't be surprised.Some people will come here and say the site needs FTP up link for every user or links to porn sites from there or MTN advert link or Maggi kitchen link or yahoo messenger download section.Even if Bill Gates endorses the site, some fellow "kwantry" people will still paint it black and say it's no good.Dat na the people for you. |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by okluv: 9:18pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
thats a bomb, i love the site at least e good for a starter |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by yawatide(f): 9:58pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
he he, you definitely know you have gone against the status quo and have gotten under some pplz skin when your thread goes for 3 pages (and counting) in less than 48 hours I wish we get paid for such posts |
Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by baby4u2(f): 10:12pm On Oct 27, 2009 |

Re: Review Of Basket Mouth's Website by Decryptor(m): 11:29pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
AY's Site is simple and okay. Basketmouth's is to Flashyyyyyyy! Content, navigation and usability is the main crux of a site. |
