New media: 'Home pages, such a quaint old-fashioned notion ...' Jeff Jarvis, Media Guardian, May 28, 2007.
The Guardian's website has a new home page and I am among those who like it. But I also think it looks of a piece with other newspaper.com redesigns of late... [Does this mean] that we have arrived at a common visual grammar for news home pages... I think this aesthetic confluence demands that we reconsider - or explode - not just the home page but our conception of the web page and even of the website... [We should] see the web less as self-contained sites and more as networks [and] who's to say that the content itself should not become collaborative, with people adding in facts and commentary and remixes as it travels around the web in a new network of news?... And doesn't that make the notion of the home page, the web page, and the site sound antiquated.
