visited with a web design firm today....it's great when you can get outside to see what's going on in the rest of the world! one of the things the firm suggested was going to sports illustrated's website. they, too, present a lot of content in an organized manner.
so i mosey'ed over......and found it so very....busy! maybe their presentation of data is good because it is organized by the sport you want to find information about. they do provide graphics and visual appeal. something in me just did not resonate with the site. am i not sports-friendly enough? is it still to much text on the page and i want to move away from this?
i like that you can customize your experience and go to "my si" where i would find just the teams that i want to follow. it is interesting they feel like their customers also might like CNN (as provided at the bottom of the pages) or is that corporate cross promotion?
interested to hear your reactions to the si site.......likes, dislikes, or are you feeling neutral?

I checked out the Sports Illustrated web site, and, although well organized, it is very busy and overwhelming. Makes me tired just looking at it, let alone trying to find anything I might be interested in. I suppose the sports fan might like it and find it easy to use though. That's not me!
I checked out SI.com as well ad I too found it to be very busy, and I was frankly unimpressed. I happen to be a sports fan, but something about their choices did not resonate with me at all.
