Editor's Notes

  • #5 The incredible shrinking newsroom.
  • #7 Site can be updated from any web browser (no Teamsite CMS) Add /feed/ to a directory and you have an RSS feed (increases ease of syndicating content) “Cloud” hosting increases site reliability Content posting and replication are almost instantaneous
  • #12 Other great stats: *Users are spending 50 percent less time on the index page than they did on the index page of the legacy site. *172K users are on Internet Explorer, 79K Chrome, 75K Safari, 41K Firefox *2,500 “My Collections” have been created *39% of all visits arrive via search engines; more than any other source
