"Off for All Web Pages"

[Trevan Richins]

What exactly does this option do and what do people expect it to do?  From reading the newsgroup and simple testing, it appears to just clear all the annotations and then prevent any annotations from being created while it is turned on.  And reading some people’s comments, it seems that they are not expecting that functionality.

 

An example use case that I read was:

 

1 - Turn on “Off for All Web Pages”

2 – Browse to google.com

3 – Enable firebug

4 – It asks for a refresh so refresh the page

5 – Firebug closes because the annotation isn’t there

6 –Pull hair wondering why Firebug is not working

Hah, I just posted in that other thread about this.

To me it seems that two functions are being applied to an option where
only one really should. A use case I see as:

1) Go to google.com
2) Enable Firebug
3) Reload page
4) Check "Off for all pages"
5) Reload page, popup mentions Firebug is disabled (only pops up
because google.com is whitelisted)
6) Uncheck "Off for all pages"
7) Reload page
8) Firebug is operational again because google.com is whitelisted.

In my opinion, there should be a completely separate option that
clears the Firebug whitelist settings (which are really page
annotations).

OT: How can you work for Omniture if your name is not Mike Kate or
Doug? ;)

LOL, you've seen those billboards! Actually, the Mike billboard said no more Mikes, so we only hire Kates and Dougs :) It gets really confusing talking to everybody :)

Haha, the new one says "Nevermind Mikes, please don't leave!" Of
course, the new, new one says "Gore Invented, Omniture Improved"
WTF? ;)

A funny store about the Mike billboard was right after they put up the original one, the only Mike on our team left for another job. We joke that it was the billboard that made him leave.

And as for what the billboards mean, who knows. Sometimes I wonder what our marketing/hiring department are thinking when they come up with them :)
