Jakob 'Major' Nielsen today called on the BBC to turn away from Web2.0 hype and return to the golden age of blue links and horizontal rules.
He presented a version of the future for the BBC that harked back to the time when a bbc news page could load in under 0.5 seconds and was only permitted to include one image in each page. No extraneous navigation is allowed in the new world order and text can be any colour you want as long as it is black (apart from links).
This revolutionary "WebLite" version of the BBC News Page is expected to prompt web designers to start editing the raw "html" of their in simple text editors in an attempt to "get back to content" rather than concentrating on the gaudy baubles of ajaxian trinkets.
