Can anyone beat that? > Interestingly, NYT.com has 324. It now occurs to me that what initially started out as a pointless exercise in link-counting might actually have a use. This page has (only) 235 links on it: http://webtorque.org/wp-content/uploads/235_links.png And it sucks. Badly.* So, if I can find a *well-designed* page of similar type and link-count, I could use it as a compare-and-contrast example in one of my legendary Boring Presentations when attempting to explain what IA is. Or (and this is scary), I could try to re-design the above page to make it better while keeping the link count intact. Better still, and far less risk for my ego, I could set this as a test for potential IA candidates in job interviews! Oh! The joys of thinking out loud! Happy new year everyone by the way.
