can't remember if it was Dave Snider or Alexis Gallisa, though, and if it was on a Mixlr stream from Jeff's car or actual Giantbomb product. But one of them went on a little monologue about how beautiful that site is especially from a database management perspective, and how impressive it is they still find time to give it at least one design revision per year.


One thing I've really come to appreciate quickly that the NYTimes still doesn't have is some form of progress bar on the page, like how A.V. Club uses its banner to progressively display where you're at in the story. It's a minor touch that any intuitive person could gather from the scroll bar or page number but it actually spurs me to keep reading articles sort of like a completion percentage in a video game.


Also, everything on Polygon is gorgeous, even their random video interviews are shot wonderfully. It's a shame the personalities behind their site are generally so abrasive on camera other than McElroy or I'd have bought into that site more heavily.
