I was checking out this Pogue article on Google Video (it kinda sucks) and marvelled a bit the page layout and navigation. It's friendly for folks running 1024 x 768 resolution (by a large, still a majority of people from my site stats, 61% of visitors), the entire article fits on a page with related articles, page viewing options on the left and a long thin banner to the right The big thing is its page presentation forgoes the conventional multiple "page" span for a long article, instead we get a 3-column layout with a simple mouseover javascript that takes you to the next or previous page if you click on either left or right column. A bright orange "previous" or "next" icon serves as indicator. I quite like it but it's not at all obvious and a bit disorienting coming from a large old media site. I wonder if there's loss of ad revenue as you reduce page views, it sure is an enjoyable user experience Click on the image and check out the Flickr notes  I was checking out the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to determine when this design went into effect but it wasn't all that helpful. I guess sometime in 2005 Checking out Alexa traffic history, there hasn't been much change. iht.com site reach is dwarfed by nytimes.com so maybe they can afford experimentation  Incidently, David Pogue might be better known for being a technology columnist at the NY Times, his review is also here Links - http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/01/18/business/ptpogue19.php?rss#
