ReadWriteWeb, Jon Mitchell: Websites Have to Get Better:
Read-later apps are competition for noisy, ad-ridden websites. They represent a simple fact: Users hate our sites.
Sure do.
The ReadWriteWeb article is, perhaps unsurprisingly, on one of those websites–and while I use ad-blocking software, I’m still not interested in trying to read an article that takes up maybe a third of the screen, with the rest devoted to a bunch of graphic designers showing off how clever they are. I sent it to Instapaper before the website had even finished loading.
