Missed Slashdot new design while using RSS
I am so used to RSS that I have missed a new (or maybe it is not already new???) design of Slashdot. I don\’t remember when I was visiting the sites for news directly and thus I do not see the changes there. It is just today that I was seating not on my machine and didn\’t have access to my RSS reader (nor I wanted to go to bloglines) I decided to visit Slashdot and I was very impressed. I really liked their new design – cool :)
Now I feel a bit pity about this. Just imagine, web-designer do a lot of their job to make cool look & feel and people (although not all of them) do not visit the site directly more than once :(
There are so many behavioral patterns that I don’t worry about webdesigner’s job being unnoticed. With Slashdot, even though a lot of people are using RSS, many (if not the most) go to Slashdot not for the news, but for discussions. And discussions aren’t available through RSS.
