(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.
