Back to the good old days...

from the When-things-were-simpler dept

A contest is currently taking place to design Web pages under 5K in size. Quite honestly I think this is very cool. Web page sizes have grown so friggin big these days that it often takes up to a minute to view a page. By that time I've either moved on or am just pissed off.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Re: define 5k

    I think the point is just to be as creative as possible in under 5k. I think that's fair enough. To put more limitations on it would make it boring.
