I guess I don't really understand some websites. It seems now days there are only three types of websites: Corporarte sites for businesses, sites made by people who don't know shit about web design, and those who are on the "creative edge" and make those really pretty sites that everyone thinks are cool. I tend to have a problem with a lot of these sites. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are usually stunning, it's just everything else.

Just like most people, I enjoy looking at sites that have good creativity and design, if only to get ideas. However it seems most of these sites have little else to show than pretty graphics. Where's the content? Why do I have no clue where your links are? Why should I visit your site again? These are just a few questions I ask.

The other types of sites are the ones that seem really "underground". Maybe designed alright, but have loads of content that is just too far out there for me. Personal sites, that talk about things like they were some metaphysical religious experience induced by LSD. ie. "...and my soul felt as though it was ripped from my inner self. Ted would never know such pain it would seem, as he stood motionless, unresponsive to my saddened wimpers. But I am strong, stronger than he believes me to be, and I will heal my heart so that I may one day love again." Yeah, you could have just said, "Ted dumped me. What an asshole".

My point here is, what ever happened to sites that are just plain fun? Sites that aren't about taking your money, or spamming your ass, or just pretty graphics or new age thoughts of existentialism, but are just made by people putting cool, fun stuff on the web? Is that kind of thing really out of style? Just some food for thought.
