Overview and Examples of Visualization Methods

FYI:
This site has a very nice overview of different visualization methods.
Ironically I don't think the periodic table metaphor actually aids
understanding of the content of the page at all, but the examples are really
cool!

Usability on Luxury Brand E-commerce sites

Wondering if anyone has had a stellar user experience on a luxury brand
ecommerce site? If so, can you email the details of why you think the UX
rocked?

Also what do you all use for web stats analysis?

Guidance for CRT vs. LCD screens

I ran into an unusual issue over the weekend, on a simple site I put together for an annual community event. Set on a black background, access to the different pages if by clicking on graphic buttons ("About", "Events", etc.). The active page has the graphic bright and underlined, with the other buttons "dimmed" to about half opacity. Elsewhere, the linked text was a medium-to-dark green, embedded in medium gray text.

On the various LCD screens I use, this was completely visible. The linked text popped out wonderfully.
