(it's like MSN - no?) post:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.1008 Wed, 15 Mar 2000 11:42:22 -0800 williamtry UK internet Freeserve relaunch webdesign redesign brokenlink http://www.metafilter.com/1008/Freeserve-relaunched-today#1863 Thankfully I do most of my surfing from a corporate intranet and don't have to suffer the whims of what an ISP will allow me to find easily, but the initial impression is that there's nothing new. Why does every ISP insist on the 'magazine' format for their homepages? Theres so much more than the 'Travel, Shopping, Sports etc...' categories and so many people venture no further than what's available from their home pages. Surely a lot of the commercialisation of the net is in some part a result of the large companies manipulating what novice users can easily find through corporate deals and sponsorship. comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.1008-1863 Thu, 16 Mar 2000 04:55:08 -0800 Markb
