IDblog beats Useit.com
I found this link about Holovaty's GetContentSize application from iaslash. I don't know how Michael did it, but he was able to restrain himself from comparing sites using this tool. I was not so strong :). But hey, the good news is that, whatever the heck it means, you can count on IDblog for more content per K downloaded than all sorts of other sites, including Jakob Nielsen's useit.com! My quickie results:
Ok, I'll grant you that the home page may not be the place for lots and lots of content, but hey, I beat Jakob Nielsen. Clearly this is a very useful and important stat :).
Comments
I checked out the GetContentSize tool as well and found it's results to be somewhat deceiving last week (no offense!). Now that the tool now takes the content title, alt and summary attributes into consideration, I find it less so. I can't wait for Jakob's retort... -- Posted by Shane on November 19, 2002 02:35 PM
