Service Unavailable…
Recently there was a race that started in Brisbane with yachts heading north for about 300nm. The race website had problems from early on, and then on the race day most people received a “Service Unavailable” screen. It was frustrating not being able to access the information (for which we are spoilt with). (Remember when there was no way of knowing at all…???)
This has sparked me to ask what virtual spectators (you) want in a race website. What do you expect? How often do you expect updates?
We (Johnsee and I) are heavily involved in the Brisbane to Keppel Race, and are always trying to think of new ways to update those watching the race from a computer.
So… Give us some ideas of what makes a great race website. You never know, one of you ideas may be used! If that’s the case, then come LSD and Deck Hardware gear will come you way.
