God. The design of this site is just aweful.

Nagging for subscribing to her private newsletter THREE TIMES (one in top of page, another in the middle, another at the bottom), flashing her new Android app and asking you to download it TWICE, 'Add me to your circles :)', about 10 sharing buttons, 'Tweet me' in every other paragraph, 'Click here to vote this up in HN' THREE TIMES, a disturbing lightbox (when you're halfway through the article)... Everything you hate about tech blogs is here.

I read http://daringfireball.net because John Gruber is an Apple and Kubrick fan (like I am), but more importantly because I think the design of his site respects me, the reader. I would never, ever visit this appsblogger.com ever again, no matter how many retweets its articles get.

Don't try signing up for the mailing list. A video immediately starts playing at ridiculous volume, yelling CHECK YOUR INBOX NOW. My ears are still ringing, as I was listening to quiet music on my headphones at 50% volume.

Yeah, that was one of the worst experiences I've had reading an article recently. Horrible site.
