Big Point
Cyberspace has no spatial extents
Web site design is subjective/more art than science
Design effectiveness is context-dependent
Web sites are communication acts
Need to have good site maps
Because web sites are dynamic, any size metrics must be dynamic
Visual dominance in web sites limits the visually impaired
Questions
Is there work on VR and info seeking?
What is difference between communication and interaction?
What are the major classifications for web sites?
(several questions about size metrics: # pages, amount of infrastructure required, time to load
Will it be easier to discuss web site attributes (like size) once we get beyond the early metaphors like window and page?
Why are frames not used much any more?
Is simple really better?
Why is web site size important?
