I tried several times today to go there and have a look. Is it just me? I couldn't get this site to open at all. it says as a warning loading takes about 1min. I saw that as a warning and with my low end DSL i approximated more in the area 2 to 3min. No luck yet at all - just some way oversized header files (I can scroll for ages to the right without getting to the border)

So it get's a 2.5 of me for now as a sign of good will. Maybe its just to much traffic because it just came out?
I will follow up on it, with a actual review, if i ever get onto it. The 2.5 stars for now mean that i believe it could be good, but can't verify it :(

My score:

I actually got it loaded. Not a task for people in a rush!! I have at the moment a 128k connection, it took close to 5 minutes. Looks pretty well done, but the loading is a serious problem if you don't have access to an T1 line or the likes.

My score:

i guess you need a fast connection to have a nice experience. with 3mb at the moment it loads pretty zippy and without major waiting. no prob here with horizontally scrolling needs. (maybe a temp. prob / browser related?) using ff rite now and tried ie (slightly slower) and it seems to work. like the content - good stories, well done layout in general - and cant decide about the format yet. no question, it is unique and i like it in a way - now if i just had a superslim and lightweight endless power notebook or tablet pc and not this clunky dtr LOL.
i actually like it to tell the truth, that it isnt "adjusting" to my screen size and resolution to "make use" of the whole screen is a slight downer.
yep a big thumbs up from my end. something i went to, enjoyed and (thx to the unique layout, ok and good content) will not be forgotten next week. 4 stars from here and when they figure out how to make it enjoyable for users with a slow connection i will up it happily to 5!
