Web Design Hampers Mobile Internet?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yin-and-yang-of-the-net dept.

aws910 writes "Reuters is running an article on how flashy web design is impacting the usability of internet-enabled mobile devices, with quotes from Tim Berners-Lee. Although the article is sparse on details, it is an interesting topic for discussion. Having recently bought an internet-enabled cellphone, I can honestly say that most websites are painful to view on a 240x320 screen over a GPRS connection(EVDO is expensive/US-only). Have we moved away from 56K-modem-oriented design, only to be pulled back in that direction?"

    Come on, it may not be backed up very well, but it's certainly not redundant. Damn crackhead mods.

    Fuck, I bet the damn editors are moderating everything now instead of users. How could that many people be that consistently idiotic? Answer: they are editors!
