This statement, made by Gabriel in the article, reminded me of a project called gnoosic (part of gnod) that I haven't thought of in some time. The premise is that people enter artists they like or do not and gnoosic creates spatialy represented relationships based on the preferences of a group of people.

PLANT: It's a nice day for a... white wedding! ME: Cool, Billy Idol. I wonder how those leaves taste.

I am in the habit of creating fixed-width homepages, because I am after all a designer (though my roots are on the geekier side). I generally use liquid layouts for the rest of the pages on a site. This gives me full control (as if) over the look on the first page that many users see, and makes the main content areas as readable as possible. One exception: visitors who like high-res (e.g. me - 1600x1200) may have trouble reading text full-screen. Lines are too long and getting lost in large text blocks becomes easy.

Liquid is the common name in web design circles.
