Orkut is famous for the never ending list of bugs in it. Users have even spotted bugs that can be exploited to view locked private albums. Today while browsing through a forum, I spotted this*:
As you can see, the forum shows messages 1-10 of 10. This means that there are no further messages. But the next link is active!!! What for?
This is just a case of not applying thought to the development of the product. Adding more features, bells and whistles and then more, you forget to get the usability right. If you have millions of users, who cares to fix these small bugs? You will be working on the ads. Won’t you?
As if it weren’t bug enough, I found something more when I clicked the next link just out of curiosity:
Yes. 11-10 of 10. Clearly, someone got his loop wrong.
*I have squeezed images parts to show the relevant portions.
haha
Looks like Google is bad with pagination. Look for the Google section of this post
Hey Niyaz,
That’s a very good find.
I found these types of errors in my orkut also.
