Stupid web tricks
Guess what? If you search either Google or Yahoo for “boloco medford hours”, this site is the top two links.
Obviously, the best place to find this information should be the actual Boloco site. Two big problems, though: one, it’s entirely in Flash, so Bog help any search engine trying to figure out what’s really on the site. The only plain text there is the title and the URL, which say nothing about hours.
And even if they did… the Medford location says only, “Opening in late November!”
Have I mentioned how much I love it when companies really get the web?!?
Update: They’re aware of the problem—see the comments.

We also have “internal” issues with this crazy all-flash site. Changes are in order.
Still no excuse for the “opening in November” line.
Send me your mailing address and i’ll pop a Boloco Buck cert or two in the mail… least i can do to thank you for pointing out the obvious… and neglected.
Best,
