Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

So the main question is, how the hell do you convey that depth and complication on one page?

You don't. You boil it down to a single concept. Try to find the essence of it.

Let me rephrase

What are your national broadcasting competitors? TV and radio networks and what, if any, specialtlies do they have?

LMAO at the turn this thread has taken! My hard drive crashed on the weekend, so I've been dark even though I did get a replacement within a few hours *hugs* to techie friends.

"loads of info on your favourite shows"

It is a bit disappointing Angus G.. I think most of our problems come down to $. I mean, it sounds like someone said "let's make an ad we could feasibly use forever"!

you guys probably want to strangle the eight cents a day person

Actually the graphic designer who did some of the tubular bells style logos for tv, but got the lissajous form wrong, is the one who gets to me.

but Plasmo's real name is not, you'll be shocked to learn, Plasmo,

My boy calls me plasmotis sometimes.. does that count? I taught a security subject for a while and occasionally my paranoia gets the better of me, which is why I go by plasmo, though it's really not hard to find out who I am "with a little help from my google". Everything you say is fine with me John H.

Has anyone read Jakob Nielsen's book about How To Build Your Front Page?

How rich is this man exactly? Because with a book about just the front page.. there are endless sequels to be written. I can't wait for "why sitemaps are bad".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

though it's really not hard to find out who I am "with a little help from my google".

I usually like to get to know folks first before I show them my google.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Or as Spike would say, your googlies.

Ok more of a feel for things. ABC is a public media empire. TV, radio, Internet , live performances. I presume the stores sell ABC related merchandise (related to shows, and symphony halls and such.)

The site seems more like MSN than a news site, with a whole bunch of different themed content areas (except transcripts seem to outweigh articles). New slogan: Where do you want to go today... mate?

I just couldn't think of an example. Nielsen frequently has excellent points, until the part where he takes the fun out of the web. So I was trying to think of something contentious he could say. oops.

the MSN thing wasn't just a jibe. I actually went to a few pages on the site and looked at slate and disney.com and pueblo.gsa.gov and cbs.com to see which it was more like.

No, I just wanted to hear the brilliant logic that would convert me, if there were such a logic; I'm really very easy that way.
