Well done Channel NewsAsia on your new site. I haven't been following your development, but this morning's breakfast table reading (yes, I do mine online) was a pleasant treat. I love the way its clean, and most of all fast!
Although they haven't yet gone full steam into Web 2.0, I must commend them on their good use of a CMS that renders static .html pages which contributes to improved speed and probably performance for their servers. The banners are a bit in-your-face, but heck, its a living ya?
I love the way every section is a channelnewsasia.com/section. No more dynamic queries in the URL. I also like the flash-based videos pegged to the story idea, but why is the screen still blank after almost a minute's wait?
But seriously, can you please get rid of the evil refresh-my-page-before-I-finish-reading script. I know you've got it pegged at 360 seconds which is plenty for most people, but sometimes I do stop to look at the pictures before I read to the end. OK, I admit, I read slow.
