Sam, Anna and all the others helping on that campaign ... the design is awesome. :)
Well, erm... not that much in my eyes. It's kinda MySpacey, or gamey, not to my intense liking. But I'm not using Twitter et al., I'm blocking even Piwik and other trackers (including Flattr buttons, which I found tracking on the site) - I may not be the focussed audience. And I like sites that provide information, not sites that "just design".
I wouldn't bookmark the page either, but as we are already aware of these issues, we are indeed not the target audience. Talking about design only, do you think the real audience would like it?
I showed it to some quite young people (22-25) at my office, and they all found nothing to do, nothing to learn or anything that keeps their interest up for longer than a few seconds. They all said: "Um, and now?"
Thanks for doing that! This is really valuable input. I'd be really curious what they will say if you won't mention it anymore and then ask them in four weeks if they ever went back to it.
After the four headlines (that do not cover the real problems ime)
Which headlines would you like to see here?
there's a promising text "they don't want you to ..." - and nothing happens when I click on that. I had thought there's more to come (maybe breaking news), or a possibility to add some content, or, or, or. But in
As far as I understood the concept, that's intentional. The visitor has to decide what to do next. I agree that we may have to say that somehow.
In contrast to your colleagues, the average user will have read a context message that will lead to the side first. _That's_ the breaking news you are missing. So, the context is: "They don't want you to do X" The visitor now knows that she is mislead, being used, betrayed, whatnot.. and the only thing the webside asks is: Now, that you know this, what do you want? "Ignore" or "do something about it".
Your colleagues chose "ignore" as most people will probably do. But if we get some to chose differently, we've gained something.
The page is not supposed to provide the content. It is supposed to ask one simple question in relation to one of the stories we (and everybody who feels like it) provide. Without that story the page itself doesn't make sense indeed.
I agree that there are many issues to fix and that everything is far from being perfect. What we are missing are people to fix the issues.

I'll try to open a ticked for each issue mentioned in this thread so far.
Besides all the issues that need to be fixed by someone: I think this is still an awesome campaign and worth supporting!
