  The Evolution of Websites: How 10 Popular Websites Have (And Have Not) Changed 

  http://www.wakeuplater.com/website-building/evolution-of-websites-10-popular-websites.aspx

  Greg William 3/18/2008 11:24:47 AM Wow, great article. Very interesting to look at sites of the past! Kai 3/18/2008 11:40:55 AM Hey there, just found your blog 2 days ago and added it to my Google Reader ... right away. Great post to start with here :-) Keep it up! Kai Chad Mueller 3/18/2008 11:42:51 AM This is a very amusing post, I did have a few laughs, but at the same time it shows you where some of these massive sites have started and now where they are, it's inspiring to see that one day anyone website can be compared to this can be set to be the next big thing. Great posts I really really like it. Hugh Bien 3/18/2008 12:09:04 PM Nice! A lot of big sites haven't changed much as I thought they would. This reminds me of the evolution of logos post: http://www.neatorama.com/2008/02/07/the-evolution-of-tech-companies-logos/ Jason Milburn 3/18/2008 12:52:21 PM Good stuff. Progress marches on!

  The Next Web - Now! 

  http://thenextweb.org/

  According to Technorati there are more than 120 million blogs, up from 100,000 in 2003. Starting a blog is easy but maintaining it is harder. Only 7 million are actively updated at least every 3 months. ... As you know this blog is updated every day and 7 days a week since we officially launched on January 7, 2008 and it seems that we are doing a good job because today we entered the ‘top 5000′ of most authoritative blogs in the world. We still have a long way (our rank is Rank: 4,564 so there are still 4463 in front of us) to go until we make it to the top 100 blogs. But we can dream, right? Written on May 27, 2008 – 1:20 pm Ernst-Jan Pfauth , editor in chief In January 2005, three young Dutch guys started a new torrent site as an alternative to SuprNova, the former popular torrent service that couldn’t cope with the legal pressure. Yesterday, these guys celebrated the fifth billion download . Mininova has been growing with an incredible speed. Last November they reached the third billion   [More...] [Less...]

  Writing for the Web: Table of Contents 

  http://www.sun.com/980713/webwriting/index.html

  Writing for the Web by Jakob Nielsen , distinguished engineer; PJ Schemenaur, technical editor; and Jonathan Fox, editor-in-chief, www.sun.com You can double the usability of your web site by following ... these guidelines: for two sample sites studied in Sun's Science Office, we improved measured usability by 159% and 124% by rewriting the content according to the guidelines. Writing for the Web is very different from writing for print : 79% of users scan the page instead of reading word-for-word Reading from computer screens is 25% slower than from paper Web content should have 50% of the word count of its paper equivalent Table of Contents Limit scrolling; use simple sentence structure; avoid cute headlines; update facts frequently. Working With a Designer: Combine page templates with professional artwork. Scannability: Highlight keywords; use bulleted lists; start with the conclusion. Navigation: Move detailed info to secondary pages. Writing to Be Read: Headlines and subheads; lists,   [More...] [Less...]

  http://www.stonetemple.com/articles/analytics-report-august-2007.shtml

  Additional Contributors Thanks are also due to the following people, who contributed to this project: John Biundo of Stone Temple Consulting Jonah Stein of Alchemist Media Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz John Marshall ... of Market Motive Dennis Mortensen of IndexTools And a special thanks to Jim Sterne of Target Marketing , and the for his support of the Shoot Out. Methodology The major aspects of the Shoot Out methodology are as follows: For each package, except WebTrends, we installed JavaScript on the pages of the participating sites. WebTrends was already installed on one of the sites participating in the project, and the implementation used a combination of JavaScript tags and log file analysis. All the JavaScript was added to web site pages through include files. As a result, we have eliminated the possibility of the JavaScript coverage varying by package. All packages were run concurrently. All packages used first party cookies. A custom analytics plan was tailored for the needs of each sit   [More...] [Less...]

  PC World - The 10 Biggest Web Annoyances 

  http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,138872/printable.html

  The 10 Biggest Web Annoyances The new, improved Web won't deserve that name until sites make clear what they do with your private data. And online tech support gets a lot better. And... Ryan Naraine In ... its relatively short life, the World Wide Web has already made many of our most mundane, tedious tasks quicker and easier to perform. But there are still a surprising number of activities--from helping us buy concert tickets to protecting our privacy--that, for one reason or another, the Web still can't get right, stirring the ire of even the most patient users. We look at ten of the worst of them. Beyond obvious, nagging problems such as e-mail spam, phishing lures, viruses, and spyware, a great many commonplace online frustrations--some dating all the way back to the earliest days of the Web--remain unfixed. We asked visitors at our online forums to identify what they consider the most dysfunctional aspects of the Web; then . For each difficulty, we identified an "aggravation factor"--   [More...] [Less...]
