A New Website for Harper's Magazine
Paul Ford: "On December 1, 2003, a new website for Harper's Magazine launched at Harpers.org. [...] It's been noted that Harpers.org looks like Ftrain. It's actually the other way around: Ftrain looks like Harpers.org. I've been using you, the Ftrain reader, as a guinea pig for about 5 months, testing ideas I developed for Harper's, finding out what JavaScript worked in which browser, which interface ideas were too baffling to include, and seeing how you dealt with different sorts of links."
These dry word describe that Harper's Magazine now has a website that is designed along Paul Ford's Semantic Web ideas, based on his Narrative Content Framework and built in XML and XSLT. And this I consider an impressive move for a commercial website.
