Okay, so its been a while since I've posted anything...
I just came across two sites that are worth making some time to chat about... NY Times and Subtaction.com... Both share in my mind, one common thread - great design!
Check out subtraction.com for a great blog user experience and see how easy it is to get lost in someone's well constructed thoughts presented through a very nicely designed site.
NYTimes on the other hand is an example of a pretty big org that has got one thing right - that is of course long page design... What I love at first glance is their three page spread on one page... No longer does the limitation of 'above the fold' really matter, in fact I'm pleasantly drawn down into the next fold and the next with each scroll. Two thumbs up for sure...
What I'm really curious about now is whether or not they've hooked up a categorization/prioritization engine to drive content onto the homepage a-la google or diggnation.com...
If you haven't considered what's new in the information design space lately, check out these sites.
