[Sigia-l] The New Nielsen?

[David Heller]

Gorgon,

Since when for something to pleasurable that it requires high-bandwidth?
Yes I can add more to my site, but Yahoo is an incredibly engaging
experience, as is Google and these are very low bandwidth sites.

My bank site where I do online checking is very low bandwidth and very
engaging to me. I think you are taking it a bit too far.

I also think that you are overstating the digital divide. Broadband is
arriving in Europe and the far east and newer methods of broadband are
going to make the arduous last mile the easiest part of the broadband
problem. That is through wireless. Just like Satellite skipped cable in
much of Europe.

Things take time to come around ... But if you look at European web
sites on the whole, they are much more likely to use engaging
technologies like Flash than US companies are b/c they seem to
understand the "pleasure principle" a lot more.
