I love the Wall Street Journal newspaper as it is, on my porch, every morning. I also love it on XM Radio. The only reason I support the purchase of the Wall Street Journal by Rupert Murdoch is because the online Wall Street Journal really sucks, even as a paid member. It makes Jesus cry. It makes me cry. I am crying right now. I should post a photo.

The site is slow, heavy, inelegant, unresponsive, and poorly-optimized. The site also kills my browsers, both Firefox and IE7. And that’s coming from a daily-reader, a dead-tree subscriber, and a total fan! If you’re not a subscriber, things get worse. Permalinks lead to teasers and dead-ends, and there is zero-semblance of any development past Web 1.0. I am appalled. I am disgusted, and I am willing to sacrifice the WSJ to the altar of News Corp!

Okay, okay, the Financial Times web site makes me cry too (I am a daily subscriber to the FT as well and love it so much, as well) . So, here’s hoping that Rupurt Murdoch buys the FT soon, as well.
