Hmm. Interesting problem there. Doesn’t make a difference to me either way – there’s no ads on here .

If I let the full article appear on front page, then you’re forced to download articles you’re not interested in, which could make things even worse for you. That front page will alos be a lot longer, because Wordpress paginates by “number of items” not “total number of words”. That could make the front page download VERY slowly for a lot of people.

(when the site gets a lot of surprise traffic, it works better with a small front page – the bigger the front page, the more the site slows down under load. Not a huge difference, but enough to be noticeable)

I can see that if you’re sure you want to read every article, then one mega download is best.

Have you tried getting a free RSS reader? That should be the fastest + most efficient way to read on a slow connection.

I really appreciate you getting this site together, as I am interested in working on developing an iphone app. It would be a big help if I could read the entire article on the main page instead of reading just the first part and having to click through to get the rest.

I spend a lot of time in staying in hotels with so-so internet and using wifi at coffee shops(not to mention the fact that I am a bit ADD), but I am still interested in your site.

Thanks.

Interesting idea.

While I’m happy to critique Apple’s activities, I’m not keen to promote actions that are actively destructive or illegal (leaving aside the question of whether they ought to be), and there’s enough grey areas there to make me cautious.

I would much rather work with Apple than against them. If that doesn’t work, then we’ll all have to consider our options – but I think there are lots of things we haven’t even tried doing yet. It’s worth giving some of them a chance.

I don’t use Twitter so I was hoping you could shoot me an email.
