still not feeling this site after the 1.5 years this design has been floating around.
i really think they could have done much better and it feels like they settled for this design. too bad. oh, and the clock (if in fact that is the best part and 'sold it' to some) is basically worthless....aside from a visual stimulation. even though it is supposed to be a functional item.
- The clock's a traditional BBC icon - all the way down to the slight recoil on the second hand. But I getcha.detritus
- probably the clock used before emission starts?********
- right, i understand. i just do not think it is very useful at all.madirish
- In olden days, yes - now we have 24 hour coverage or Ceefax taking us through the cold & lonely dark of the night.detritus
- additionally, it is only an iconic brand element to those inside UK no doubt; whereas this site is not- its reach is far greater.madirish
- And, don't forget - silly wee gimmicks like this still blow the tiny minds of the plebians.detritus
- thus, not requiring or leveraging a brand value w/in a great % of users.madirish
- totally true dude on the 'wee trick' part...madirish
