Have you seen Oracle’s new

Have you seen Oracle’s new Web site? If not, go check it out. I’ll wait…. You’ll notice that it looks just like Yahoo! I’ll bet you $10 that whomever was in charge of determining the look for the site purchased a copy of Jakob Nielsen’s Designing Web Usability (in which he opines that the best Web interfaces are those that people are most familiar with, i.e. Yahoo’s and Amazon’s) sometime before the design phase began. I could be wrong however, as the Oracle.com design team obviously didn’t follow his law that all links must be blue.
