YOUR SUGGESTIONS FOR BEST & WORST SITES

Thanks to everyone who suggested good and bad sites to go with my own suggestions. Keep 'em coming! Currently they focus on bad interfaces. More to come in the future.

How to make sure your site never gets on the "worst" list? Visit Creative Good's main site, its GoodExperience.com site, and its co-branded E-Business Best Practices e-commerce site with ZDNet for more examples and information on usability.
