Video killed the radio star, and information overload killed the good user experience
The new MTV.com website
It is obviously some people worked hard to make it and some are still working to maintain it.
It’s just rarely have I seen a website that lodges a so fierce civil war. Meaning that all that beautifully colored content is fighting for my attention. I rephrase: is trampling for mt attention. From the smallest boxes to the video player that start playing by themselves, they are climbing each other’s heads, they are spitting, swearing and they are calling me on a thousands voices, with a thousands offers, each hoping it will stop for a moment my eyes. I feel as if I were passing a tunnel of Arabian sellers that have seen my dollars out of my jeans’ pocket.
And I don’t know where to look anymore and what to do, and I forgot why I had came here and I want to leave.
It’s just that my computer answers slowly the commands, because this website sucks up all my resources. Help!
Oh, before I forget… It also has a little animated intro. Very retro…
