Features I liked and why: A new feature to the Web site is the Cultural Roulette. After clicking on the roulette icon, a random Web page appears from any one of the categories offered. I thought this feature was cool because it lets you get lost within Interview's Web site while reading articles you may never knew existed. While some of the content is hit-or-miss, most is interesting and engenders repeat clicks.
What's not working with the site: While the Web site offers a lot of content to sift through, its commenting system really limits interaction. I'd like to see more opportunities to interact within the site, be it a forum or what have you. I think implementing a chat system would be great because then you could have everyday folk gain their 15 minutes by commenting on the hyper-elite.
What's not there that I'd like to see: I suppose that chat feature I mentioned above, although that's just an idea. Of course, adding too many features to the Web site may turn some people off. So I would just suggest updating the current login system's array of features by expanding what you can do with your personal library, as mentioned in a previous post.
How the competitors' sites compare: W Magazine seems to have stopped with the popups asking for my subscription dollars, which is nice. Other than that, they all look the same. :/
