The Israeli Government's Ugliest Website, אתר הכי מכוער של ממשלת ישראל

The following Facebook post/conversation, gave me the idea to run a poll for the ugliest Israeli Government website. The current top 3 nominees follow the Facebook Screenshot below. Please vote for the ugliest one in the comments section below or suggest your own nominee.

הפוסט שפרסמתי בפייסבוק המופיע למטה, הניב רעיון לתחרות "האתר אינטרנט הכי מכוער של ממשלת ישראל." 3 המועמדים המובילים מופיעים למטה מתחת למסך מפייסבוק. נא להצביע בטוקבקים למטה עבור האתר הכי מכוער. לחילופין, אפשר להציע מועמד נוסף.

Masbirim מסבירים

One Side Note: The Bank of Israel is displaying their new design for bills but not for its ugly website!

Yosef Fried volunteered the Chief Scientist Site on my linkedIN page

"Uglier is the Office of the Chief Scientist. Pathetic would be a compliment. Links open up to word docs. Lhttp://www.tamas.gov.il/CmsTamat/Rsrc/MadaanEnglish/MadaanEnglish.html"

Yosef is right! The vanguard of Israel's science, the Chief Scientist's site is pathetic http://www.tamas.gov.il/CmsTamat/Rsrc/MadaanEnglish/MadaanEnglish.html

This is by far the worst. It isn't even centered!

All three actually look to me like they are modified from the same ugly template. So does the incubator one.

I think the Bank website wins the prize.

Looks very much like Amit Bendov's vote. IE5.5, broken images all over, visual-only CAPTCHA (is that even legal? what about visually impared people?)

OFri's Candidate, Misim, even had a lapsed security certificate. I took a screen shot that I cannot figure out how to post into comments here

Why aren't you writing about the protests going on here? This is going to dramatically change this country.

Anonymous - I have written a piece on the protests in Hebrew. It is slated To appear in one of the newspapers next week and then I can post To the blog.

Generically my view is that this is an important moment for the country to regain spirit and vision. I worry that the protest has no focus and hence could dissipate. Bibi deserves credit for the calm security atmosphere which allowed this issue to bubble up. Finally, the middle class problem is not unique to israel. It is happening everywhere for important reasons and if I have TIme I will dedicate a post to it.

Done on iPhone so excuse spelling mistakes

Oooooh, I think that the tax authority takes the cake. Even look at it's URL - this is what came up in search results - they don't even point the IP address to an address with letters! http://147.237.72.111/taxes/
