Controversial Web "Framing" Makes a Comeback
theodp writes "The WSJ reports that the controversial practice of framing seems to be making a comeback on the Web. Big sites like Digg, Facebook, Ask.com and StumbleUpon have all begun framing links recently, joining the likes of Google, which employs the technique for Image Search. Long ago, Jakob Nielsen argued that 'frames break the fundamental user model of the web page,' but, today's practitioners contend, 'it's a feature, not a bug,' and say it provides publishers with massive distribution they wouldn't otherwise have."
Don't listen to the web of lies. Whatever it says about me, I didn't do it. I've been framed!
Agreed. As long as I can close it I could care less that it's there.
How much less could you care? This information is the only thing that stands between us and the knowledge of how much you do care!
You have no idea how little some people can care. I wouldn't trudge through those depths of apathy lightly.
It seems like another case of that annoying "You are now leaving our site. It's a big scary internet world out there where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs! Are you sure you want to do that? We take no responsibility for the rest of the internet, but you seem like the kind of idiot that would sue us for a link one of our users provided. Here, we'll give you a life line back to our site, and since you have 15 toolbars installed, you probably don't have any screen space left to see the other site anyway."
People don't think about what they write these days, they just let out torrent upon torrent of brainfarts.
lol, i know just what you mean people are such morans these days!!! my friend does that all the time but shes a slut she went to see the new Batman movie with me and it was so funny, oh that reminds me no i forgot sorry
Do you not get enough attention at work?
Nor should someone who has just been whooshed by low-level parody.
Great story 'til I got to the end and you didn't loose.
