A Web site less useful than its print equivalent
Wednesday's Globe contains a glossy supplement advertising this Saturday's all-day inaugural celebration of the Rose Kennedy Greenway. If you want a schedule for this event, I strongly advise you to keep the ad booklet and forget about the Web site.
Because the online schedule is close to useless. There's no way to navigate it except forward and backward page by page, one page at a time. You can't search by time of day. You can't put all the events on a single page for printing. You can search by Location, but then you have to decide between "Wharf District" and "Wharf District Parks" and half a dozen other variations on that. There's a free-form text box, but it won't help you unless you somehow happen to know the exact words used in some event description. ("Bicycle", no; "Bicycling", no; "Cycling", yes.)
The Greenway Conservancy would have done much better to simply post a PDF of the ad booklet on their web site.
