Although I found the article entertaining, I disagree. Having the ability to customize myspace may have resulted in horrible layouts, but lets not forget that myspace (or the lackluster default layout) has inspired countless youths to become aspiring web designers. Plus, there are some very very nice layouts for myspace, as is the case here: createblog.com.

I am wondering if you are going to do another edition of the worst web sites. I recently discovered an infuriatingly incompetent web site and need a place to nominate it.
The site is razorfish.com and ironically, this is a technology/design company.
The first time you look at the site, you notice something that seems kind of cool. You look at it for a moment, and then you shake it off and get back to your task of finding the specific information on the site that you need. Very quickly, you realize that you are forced to watch this "cool" 30 second thing EVERY TIME you click. Just to find a local address for the company, it took several minutes while I watched the effect over and over again. It's like my 11 year old who after making a funny noise and seeing me crack a smile, decides to then do it again and again for the rest of the day.
The information is not hidden behind poor organization, but behind poor user interface. It epitomizes the worst of design judgment- choosing mild coolness over an absolute basic level of practicality.

You need to add Yahoo to this. Their groups feature is ridiculous. I lost over 10,000 members when they did some kind of upgrade and they refuse to even look into it. They blame you for their mistakes. And their site runs painfully slow sometimes.
