Will it be perfect right away? Nope. But, at least they tried. I also mark this as the start of Web 3.0 where organizations will start to harness the social networks and make it work for them.

I just "attempted" to look at the site and got their pop-up requesting I verify my age and it also contained verbage that amounted to a disclaimer about anything I might read going forward. It's their site and they're trying to disavow the content before I even get there? How about controlling the content you serve up to visitors?!? I also hated the first paragraph in their disclaimer: "Hold your horses. Before you can check out Skittles.com, you've gotta tell us your age. So spill it:", Oh, they're so whacky and hip...I got so annoyed, I halted my expedition and turned back. If that's what they're trying for, they succeeded. To quote Charlie Brown: "Good grief!".
