A spec for a really impressive new website service. I especially liked the design comments on the Flash intro; I think you will to.

except shouldn't it include streaming video of an actual time-piece? a nice clock or something?

The series on writing software specifications that this spec is from is also worth a read.

highind, thanks for the link but I was not impressed. Where was the multimedia splash screen?

My thought on HighInd's link was that it was the best link text I think I've ever seen.

Glad you all liked this one; Joel *does* have some really good stuff to say, though, like all designers, I don't agree slavishly with *all* his opinions.
