Interesting article over on ITWire by Stuart Corner: If I hear “HSDPA will deliver 14.4Mbps” one more time I shall scream.
(Yes, scream now).

Good article, but the site designer needs to be given the boot.

Hint: Five short paragraphs per page, wrapped around a flash ad does not a good site maketh.

That’s not the only ad either – there’s atleast Seven ads that I counted: Four flash ads, two smaller graphic ads, One text ad …and a partridge in a pear tree… err. That’s not counting any sponsored links or paid content that may be there.

So, all up you’ve been served about 21 paid for ads, for one article. Crikey!

All of that content could easily have been placed on one page. Sure, it cuts their page views down by a third – but it makes us readers more happy. (And more likely to stick around and see more ads, albeit with a lower per-page density).

end-of-rant.
