How Bad is OregonLive?
A very lively conversation over at BlueOregon on the general shoddiness and crappiness of OregonLive.com. I recommend checking it out and reading through the comments.
BlueOregon Hates on OregonLive.
Nice to see the Portland blogosphere agrees on this, maybe it will help motivate them. I wonder if other places that have an adnavce.net site for their major paper also hate it?

That last question is good one. There must be complaints findable via a good Google or two somewhere.
It’s also not new for the local blogosphere to carp about this. I’m sure there have been threads on Communique, and I just found one on Jack Bog’s Blog also that I had forgotten about.
None of ithas done much good, but maybe we can start reachign some sort of critical mass.
But, as I keep pointing out, the corporate walls between the newspaper and online components of the Advance empire make movement fairly unlikely. I still think we should focus more attention on the suffering Portland Tribune.
This is how I cleaned up Oregonlive’s crap with firefox and adblock: http://indeego.com/OL.jpg
But does the Tribune have any money to put on their website? Haven’t they been losing money since they started?
