Sedo Fixes Auction User Interface
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Auction page now easier to scan.
One thing has always baffled me about the auction page at Sedo: domain names were truncated at 13 characters even though there was plenty of space to list the entire domain. Like many things in web applications, fixing this was a challenge due to some legacy backend systems. But I’m happy to report that Sedo has fixed the glitch and most domains are no longer truncated:
A quick review of current auctions shows only a couple truncated listings, whereas before it seemed that nearly half of the domains were truncated. Before this adjustment you would find a domain that looked interesting and then hover your mouse over it to see what the domain really was. (Often times it was in a TLD you wouldn’t care for or included an entire extra word that wasn’t apparent.)

Now all Sedo needs to do is loose the underline hyperlink so p,g,j,q do not look like o or l. Not sure why most domain sites display a linked domain with an underline, as it forces people to use the hover to see what the domain is at times with the above mentioned characters. It’s an easy code change, so I’m not sure other then “is it a link or not” why they wouldn’t do it.
Or they could simply offer csv list to download. But that would be too smart for Sedo they will rather keep doing all their illogical crap
