GAWKER LAUNCHES ALL-CAPS HEADLINE NEWS
SITE
04/06/2005 03:21 PM

1sploid.jpgWe've launched a new site, called Sploid. Edited by Choire "Boo Boo Bear Prime" Sicha, Henry "Once Intern, Now Man" Seltzer, and Ken "Yeah, I Actually Don't Know This Guy" Layne, Sploid is like a Gawker blog but even lazier, as up-to-the-second news headlines are snarkily regurgitated in easy-to-read font sizes and just a dabbling of that always-original, never-a-Daily Show-knockoff Gawker-brand humor. And in just in case you're afraid we pinko New York liberals skew the noise to our gay/jew agenda, publisher Nick Denton reminds you that our 'political line' is "anarcho-capitalist," the same bullshit phraseology he uses to explain our pay scale.

But really, I love it already, so go give them a new first day traffic spike they'll look at wistfully for months to come.

OMG IT'S THE SITE [Sploid]

Gawker Launches Lifehacker, Gridskipper


Gawker Launches Lifehacker, Gridskipper 02/01/2005 09:09 PM

These are the things I hate: Powerbooks that blow up on the same day that new models come out. Windows' tantalizing burst of speed compared to my Mac, punctuated by lock-ups every few seconds. The Killers. Firefox 1.0 being less stable than Firefox 0.8. A lack of proper backups.

Here are the things I love: Ordering replacement hard drives that should make my Powerbook considerably faster. Enjoying a song from The Killers while still hating them. Launching new blogs on Gawker. Launching new blogs about using technology to make life easier and seedy concentrated travel experiences.

Sorry about the radio silence, internet friends. I've got a semblance of a workflow restablished and am brewing another pot. Looks like we've got a long afternoon ahead of us.

The new Radio 3 site launches!


The new Radio 3 site launches! 06/26/2004 04:01 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to direct your attention towards the new Radio 3 website, which I (along with a great number of other people from every discipline and from all across the BBC) have been working on for the last few months. The teams that created the site have been among the best I've ever worked with and if started naming names I'd be here all week.

But what's so special about it, I hear you ask? Quite apart from the sterling design work from Radio 3's own Paul Finn, we've been working with Radio 3's team to make the site one of the most genuinely web-native sites I've ever seen - designed to effectively reflect the station's programming online in a way that'll be better for the site's current users, for search engines and for anyone who would want to link to the site - including (but certainly not limited to) webloggers. Specifically the new site includes:

  • A web page with a stable long-term URL for each and every episode of each and every programme that is broadcast on Radio 3 - a page that will always have basic information upon it, but can also be supplemented with more content by the production teams that actually make the programmes. (Lebrecht.li ve, World Routes' "Cairo Nights" etc.)
  • New schedule pages that are persistent and will remain on the site in perpetuity, each item upon which linking through to the specific episode page for that programme - allowing you to navigate to any episode of any show by the date and time it was broadcast upon (particularly useful for helping you to find out what was playing yesterday when you were listening to the radio in the car).
  • Better navigational aids, including the ability to easily see when the next (and last) episodes of your favourite programmes are on, the ability to navigate between episodes of a programme by date, and a full daily schedule on the front page of the site, linking through to every episode.
  • Improved URL structures, easily spiderable pages and nice content-related title tags that should make each page easier to bookmark and find through the BBC's search engines and search engines across the web.

I could go on - I'm terribly proud of the work that everyone has done on the site and it's only going to get better over the next few weeks. But good work be damned! The most important thing is that I think it's going to serve the site's users better - both existing, and (perhaps) people who've never listened to Radio 3 before and can now be exposed to its wealth of programming over the web more effectively than ever before.

PS. Hello to Leigh, Justin, Andrew, Paul F, Gregory and Sarah D from Radio 3 and Zillah, Rija, Tim, Mike, Matt B, Paul C, Manjit, Ian, Jason, Tony, Clare, Dan, Chris K, Simon N and anyone else I might have forgotten about. And a special personal wave to Margaret Hanley and Gavin Bell for being the best creative partners and co-conspirators a boy could wish for. You all rock!
