Jared Spool writes about the issues with breadcrumbs. To quote:

Breadcrumbs aren’t bad, per se. However, like all things, they take resources to implement well. Of course, with less resources, you can create poorly designed breadcrumbs. But poorly designed breadcrumbs won’t help anyone, so if you’re going to make them useful, you need to spend the resources to do so.
