Are we still doing the meta-refresh thing?

January 17th, 2006

Despite being on the other side of the planet, the Sydney Morning Herald is one of my daily reads. They launched a new design recently which I really like - it’s definitely one of the better meatspace newspaper websites out there. But they drop the ball by using a meta-refresh of five minutes. It drives me crazy. I can’t imagine advertisers would be happy with it either.

If their RSS feeds weren’t so skeletal I could do away with the site altogether, but sadly that’s not the case.

I’ll have to hunt for a GreaseMonkey solution to the problem…
