it's hard not to show moremore denise

do you like reading
on the internet?

I'm just starting to
get used to it.

and it's not because
i'm a print snob or skeptical
of technology, but it's that i believe
in the importance of using the
internet as a tool.

and using the tool well.
with as much precision
and thought as it takes
to design a book
or magazine.

so it's a bit
disappointing when I
see my favorite magazines
and companies fail so terribly
when they move online, or blog.
It's like they forgot their aesthetic
and forgot how to layout content.
where are the editors that edit?

have you experienced this?

some sites "get it"
but a lot don't.

so we need to brainstorm
because online is the
future of media.

and imagine, someone
could potentially configure
a social networking site that
could direct people and $ to
social and humanitarian
issues on a mass scale.

what a tool it could be!

so what 3 ingredients
make a website successful?

[visually compelling
not too many pages
clean composition
more or less ads
not too wordy
community
cohesion]

or, simply point us
to a well executed site
that gets-it.

for all I know,
I may have lost you already
