[Sigia-l] is bad design a choice?

The "perfect place for a folksonomy"? 

Clearly, you never buy at auction. Why on earth would bidders help
competing bidders find stuff?

Unlike most websites, where things strive to be intuitive, eBay is an
application that millions have learned to use. They don't mind
relying on the back button. They've learned how to hack the search
engine. And they know what to click and when.

Is the site aesthetically pleasing? Who cares as long as folks can
bid on something they want.

Best,
Eric
