[WEB4LIB] Re: New search engine under development

[Freeman, Brook J.]

It appears to be designed for 1024x768.  This is not huge.  While
800x600 is still the most commonly designed for size, doing a quick web
search the most recent data I found was from 2001, from that data
1024x768 was the normal web browsing resolution for 33%, 800x600 52%
with most of the rest taken up by higher resolutions.  This was three
years ago, I'm sure the numbers have sifted up significantly since then.
I expect that more and more sites will be designed for 1024.

this certainly sounds interesting.

however, i think the person who designed their site has the largest
monitor on earth. 
the logo is HUGE (in my browser it takes up 50% of the window!), and i
had to scroll horizontally to read the text <shudder>.

they might be on to something with the technology, but their site made
me wince.
