The new SinnerSchrader Web site is the most consequent Web 2.0 corporate web site I have seen so far! But what could be done better to build the next generation of corporate websites?

The unaltered part is something I'm very happy with: not all companies have the guts for it, but Mattes and Martin are very open with things like that. As for the cap/not issue: as far as I know the official deal is "Sinnerschrader." The logo doesn't have any caps though. @herr_schaft: Yep, but that’s nothing new. I’ve had a few articles up there.

At least your post made it onto the sinnerschrader-blog (how do you write that nowadays, by the way? there's two choices with capital and not so capital letters on their page) unaltered. Was that the kind of "let it live" you were talking about? hehe.
