Regarding TheNextWeb's Shit-Ass Website
How long it takes to load the page is part of the reading experience. Bandwidth is not free, and not universally fast. People are using 3G for chrissakes. If every article on the web weighed 3 MB, you’d eat through a 2 GB data cap by reading only 20 articles a day. Not watching video — just reading.
it’s sort of like shooting yourself in the foot when your business model is selling advertising based on people visiting your web site.
