(heard about it on The Escape Blog)
Nick Usborne and Marketing Experiments has a piece on Dial-up service and all I can say is ‘Amen’! I just spent the good part of a week on dial-up and it was painful. Broken images, downloads that never downloaded, ‘files not found’ all make for a tedious experience. The biggest drag, outside of frustration, is time wasted. Forget deep linking on a dial-up. You can also forget image heavy websites like The Washington Post.
Nick makes a great point though about the 35% of us that exist on dial-up. This all reminds me of a Guy Kawasaki line about eating your own dog food.

More PostSecret
PostSecret continues to grow. The following comes from Dave Sifry‘s State of the Blogosphere, February 2006 Part 2
Let’s take a few examples. Have a look at PostSecret. It is the #3 site on the Technorati Top 100 today, with over 12,000 sites that have linked to it in the last 180 days. It didn’t even exist on the chart in April of 2005.
