PCWorld.ie is a joke

If you visit pcworld.ie right now, you’ll get an invalid hostname error.

If you visit www.pcworld.ie right now (notice the difference), you’ll see a crap ‘coming soon’ page.

If you visited either pcworld.ie or www.pcworld.ie a year ago, you would have gotten a functional online store.

If you visit either pcworld.co.uk or www.pcworld.co.uk right now, you get a very attractive online store.

Two points here:

  1. If you have a functional online store already in place, don’t take it down. If you have to take it down, don’t take it down for a year.
  2. Multinational retailers don’t take Ireland seriously. Not even a little bit.
