Editorial
The IDG NZ website
got a makeover a week or so ago -- but unfortunately it seems to have
sparked off a return of the crashes that plagued it earlier. Most mornings
this week I've gotten a "connection refused" error or some obscure complaint
from the webserver when attempting to view the site.
Now I see that the "award winning"
NZ Herald site has been given a bit
of a tart-up for some reason.
In both cases the changes are an improvement -- although I find it harder to
spot the fresh content on the new IDG site -- maybe it's just that they're
putting too much stuff that's only updated weekly on that vital front page.
Of course the news section of
TV One's news got
the face-cream and exfoliant treatment a few months ago and it's now a
very nice news resource.
And, to top it all off -- NZ's own world-leading
7am.com news site is about
to get a little more pancake and eye-liner early in the New Year.
But have you noticed something... these are all news-related sites!
What is it that has prompted such a wave of reconstruction work in the
arena of Net-based news publishing?
I don't know -- do you?

They're talking about us in the USA...
