Vote for Bank of Ireland!
September 27th, 2007
It’s that time of the year again - time to vote for your buddies in the Net Visionary Awards. The question on everybody’s lips: “How do Jacobs get the fig” “Whom should I vote for in all of those other categories?”. Even the all-knowing Michele is struggling with that one.
As for the “Best Online Banking Service”, Bank of Ireland’s 365 Online is the only one I’ve used and it is not quite painfully bad, so that’s a no-brainer. Congrats, BOI.
In the web designer category, it has to be Darren Murphy, because he’s the only one who links to me on his blog. A close second-place goes to Alan, because I’ve actually seen some of the work he’s done and it’s very good.
The real decision now is, do I randomly select my votes in the other categories, or do I pick the guy with the funniest name? Now who said anything about this being a popularity contest?

I’ve used 365 Online and BOI BOL (Business OnLine). 365 Online looks like it was developed by Apple when compared to the complete piece of crap that is BOL, and I consider 365 Online pretty crap on it’s own; although the upcoming version does apparently let you add beneficiaries yourself, and about bloody time too.
BOL uses Java for certificate management and authentication, but it gets better: it doesn’t support the Sun Java VM, so you have to use the depreacted MS JVM. Which you can’t get anywhere, unless you’re somewhat clued-in in the IT department.
Some of the other banks are supposed to be pretty good, NIB in particular. Sadly, if it was a fair battle, PayPal would probably win it. And sure they’re a shower of…

Hmm, i’ve only used AIB 24hr myself. I’ve always considered it more than adequate and fulfils most of day-to-day banking needs /shrug.
However, it doesn’t even rate a nomination (even though their listed as a “headline” sponser, heh).
