I am embarrassed to see that the UI launched in this condition. (I am allowed to be embarrassed rather than just outraged since I work there.)<p>* Top middle text below the blue line should be removed.<p>* Some links on the left side lead to ugly, empty search result pages (archiving &#38; discovery implementation, etc.). How about don't show the categories to users until you have something in them?<p>* "0 review"? You were smart enough to specialize the "1 review" versus "2+ review_s_" case but couldn't work out that 0 is plural?<p>* There should be a two-line limit on the titles of apps shown in the right-side bar. And they should have icons. The number of reviews should be shown without "reviews," and the stars and number should be a link to the actual reviews.<p>* When I have no search results, it pops up a result page that seems to assume that I have entered keywords. It says "Your search - - did not return any listings." Then it makes suggestions that I modify my keywords. This should obviously not be the cases since I did not use any keywords in the first place.<p>* The category titles on the left side should be reworked. The mapping follows:<p><pre><code> On all, s/[Ii]mplementation//g s/[Aa]plication//g Support and managed services is really two different categories, they should be split and "services" eliminated. </code></pre> The overall odor of management bs is all around this site too. I guess people who eat that are who they are trying to attract, but it doesn't make standing near the outhouse stink any less.<p>I don't understand how mistakes as basic as these could possibly be made. It's not like there's a complicated database or optimization problem behind this website. It probably won't even see one qps on a normal day. They should have spent more time making it less ugly.<p>PS: and, uh, there are people using our trademark without permission to advertise their services. E.g. goog setup, here: <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/search?categoryId=14&#38;orderBy=rating" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/search?category...</a>
