The New York Times is basically required reading, but I've long had issues with their Web site. The presentation isn't outrageously ineffective, but I really find it challenging to find something I'm compelled to click on in the giant table of links that makes up the lower half of their frontpage. Even the stories they've pulled and featured above the fold, so to speak, require me to read a whole summary before I really know if the article interests me or not. Often I'll scan down the page and my eyes will glaze over at the sight of all those Long Unnecessarrily Capitalized Headlines That Occasionally Don't Even Indicate What The Story Is About.
As a result, I'll visit the site and will check out the lead story and probably look at the stories they have pictures for and then I'll struggle to maintain interest. The popular links section helps, but there's got to be a better way.
