    These are definitely some good points. Perhaps the owner of Team Cowboy is purposely trying to keep a more narrow focus on the US & Canada instead of trying to bite off the entire world all at once? I think it's important to temper thoughts on a site design with what the site owner's overall vision is (if you are aware what it is).

    Fair point, and it's usually only possible to infer a site owner's overall vision from what they display on the website. So a little "US teams only" or "Beta" badge on the front page might help the audience infer that kind of information.

    Update: Travis from TeamCowboy emailed me about my team this morning. He says in part, "I noticed that you are using Guam as your region, but based on your team roster, it looks like you might be located in Australia. As a result of this, the list of regions on the site has just been updated to include other countries in the world (outside of the United States, Canada, and US territories that were already in the list)."


    How about that? Travis wasn't aware of my blog post, of course. Gotta love a business that checks what its customers are doing with its website.
