411139 2005-12-08 19:02:00 I've just been looking (or trying to look) around the new Ferrit site that Telecom have spent $15,000,000 setting up and I am way unimpressed.

For that amount of money they could have got it to look tidy in Firefox.

For that amount of money they could have made it easy to navigate without all the java crap and very outdated look.

For that amount of money I would expect something exceptional in the 'online store' department.

For that amount of money the guys who designed it must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Another bad look for Telecom :-(

Firefox? But don't you know that everyone in New Zealand uses IE 6.0 on Windows XP?

Firefox display is fine.


I have tweaked a lot of the display settings on my comp... sites like PF1 look fine, but the Herald and ferrit look like a dog's breakfast (if you've ever had a dog to breakfast you'll know what I mean!)

Still doesn't help the fact that Metla could have done a better job for 5 million :p

411147 2005-12-09 00:50:00 what exactly is the point of another trade website, honestly, no one will ever match trademe's pull power, people even refer to selling stuff on the net as putting it on trademe, or get it off trademe. Tux (606)
411148 2005-12-09 00:55:00 Well, then, whats the point of an alternative OS?, MS pwn the market, lets not look anywhere else.

Anyhow, Ferrit is only open to retailers to sell to the public, Its what happens when coperate idiots try and jump on the bandwagon. The items listed are from companies that already sell via websites.

I can't imagine I would ever buy anything through it, If I wanted to buy off any of the retailers I would just go look on their site, not buy it through Telescam so that they get a cut.
