			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a href="http://aaqua.persistent.co.in/aaqua/forum/index">aaqua</a> is a website for the development of the farmers of India. Currently it serves 3 states of India and expanding more. The basic idea of <a href="http://aaqua.persistent.co.in/aaqua/forum/index">aaqua</a> is to answer the questions regarding pesticides, soil, weather informations, disease etc of farmers of different regions of the country. I was looking at the website and come across some interesting interaction design issues.</p>
<p><a href="http://towardsbetterinteraction.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/picture-21.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-97" src="http://towardsbetterinteraction.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/picture-21.png?w=550&#038;h=281" alt="" width="550" height="281" /></a></p>
<p>Above image is home page of<a href="http://www.aaqua.org/m/"> &#8220;aaqua &#8211; mini&#8221;</a> which says its a mobile version of &#8220;aaqua&#8221;. After getting inside &#8220;aaqua mini&#8221;, you can search for any keyword. I just tried searching for pesticides and something popped up like this :</p>
<p><a href="http://towardsbetterinteraction.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/picture-3.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98" src="http://towardsbetterinteraction.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/picture-3.png?w=550&#038;h=288" alt="" width="550" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Here i do not understand the significance of leaving the bottom space and giving pagination like 1|2|3|4. It feels like they have not done proper utilization of the space. One more interesting thing i found out is,</p>
<p><a href="http://towardsbetterinteraction.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/picture-5.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-99" src="http://towardsbetterinteraction.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/picture-5.png?w=550&#038;h=292" alt="" width="550" height="292" /></a></p>
<p>Once you open some link which requires registration, you see a red colored statement saying &#8221; <span style="color:#ff0000;">warning &#8211; you have to login to access this feature&#8221;</span> (shown in the above image). This seems very strange, something like it is trying to scare by saying &#8220;warning&#8221;, you have done some biggest mistake by clicking this link.</p>
<p>Though i appreciate the effort of connecting agricultural experts and farmers which helps them grow better. <a href="http://aaqua.persistent.co.in/aaqua/forum/index">&#8220;aaqua&#8221;</a> has been awarded two times.</p>
