Hayhuy meeting us with its really impressive Web 2.0 design acted peevishly for not registering me at first but I succeeded at 3rd try. As a part of my job, I care details in websites; for example, I tried to log in with a username and password which did not exist and I liked that the website directed me to the registration page instead of saying “there is no such username”. If you are registering to tens of website everyday, then forgetting which website you registered is not a symptom of Alzheimer.  The first negative aspect is that the system is asking us to pick a username. Even we are doing this, we should be able to sign in by our e-mail addresses as an alternative to our username. Since people become absent minded day by day, we hope this deficiency will be fulfilled as soon as possible.

Hayhuy not allowing us to sign in with our e-mail addresses directed us to control panel when we signed in with our usernames. When we saw that we had 3 new messages, we had a short megalomania crisis as thinking “Wow, what a popular man I am, everyone jumped in as soon as I stepped in…” When we checked our inbox, we saw the warning as “there is no message here” and read the entire page by paranoiac looks but then we noticed that there were messages sent by Muhtar in the right bottom of the page (Muhtar is ‘elected head of government of a village or of a neighbourhood within a town in Turkey’). We thought, “Local elections were years ago. What would I do with muhtar? Would I receive certificate of residence?” But then we wanted to look “messages sent by muhtar to see if it is important or not. Is there any fire drill or earthquake shelther project etc.?” Read More »

Web 2.0 is known as including people into the web; however, actual problem is to configure computers to understand human beings. While people desire to generate contents in the web, they also want to meet with web software that will widen their horizons.
