The New York Times Homepage

I was just having a look at the New York Times homepage – which I rarely go directly to, to be honest, though I follow deep links to stories and articles.

Was this page designed for Google/Yahoo/MSN/a.n.other search engine, or for ACTUAL HUMANS to view? How can anyone find anything on this page? It’s so unbelievably cluttered!! I’m totally shocked.

Another case of being designed by committee?

Sheesh! Thank goodness for RSS!

Compare this with the BBC News homepage

Flickr Unlimited

Flickrhoo! have announced that PRO users will now have unlimited space on my favourite photo sharing site. Nice. Thank you.

Now, can they please fix the log in links (for comments etc) so that those of us (old school users) who paid got honest cash for this service to grow, don’t feel secondary to the Yahoo! (freebie) users who came and took it over!

And no – I don not want to convert my flickr account to a Yahoo! one, thank you.
