Recovery.gov - 18 million dollar website

No, but we would be discussing pop-up ads on every single page load or refresh.

 

I can't believe anyone would find justification for using 18M on a website that does absolutely nothing. Security? Fail. Bandwidth? Fail. Manpower? Fail.

 

$19k is a pittance. You weren't implying some kind of tit-for-tat, were you?

 

The irony. Their next month's assignment should where this 18 million is going toward Recovery.gov

 

I don't get why a redesign will take it through 2014 - seems like the cost has to be more then a redesign.

9 million through Jan for a redesign is a lot. It must be an enterprise system backing it up, complete with massive security systems to prevent cyber attack which it will surely come under, all the legal requirements (I am sure lawyers are involved at every step). Gov't getting things done is just expensive and inefficient.

I wonder if the recovery.gov site will list the $18 spent on the site.

 

Youtube is a streaming video site... and the costs are nowhere near that high.

After a discounted rate, it's most like around $1-2 million a month for a site that streams more bandwidth in a day than recovery.gov will in a year.
