I usually look someplace for an About Us, but with home based tech startup businesses, I have been asked to interview for tech companies at:
Dunkin Donuts,
Starbucks,
Barnes and Noble, Borders etc.
I can even give the names of these companies if you wish.

I have gone to these addresses and they have been wrong, had street versus blvd on the web site, so I always ask the question.

In general I agree! But it's out of control how many links there are on a typical home page these days, with designs that makes links hard to see (or you have to hover to see if it's even a link.)

Thanks...
I've been burned by a number of About/Contact Us links where they just place an email and phone and not a physical address because they are working out of their mother's basement.

Still due diligence states I should have traveled there first...
