"

Thats 'kind-of true' but not really (in my opinion at least) :)

The extra page load time is due to javascript libraries like Prototype loading. We use that across nytimes.com for auto-suggest and other dynamic features. However, after loading one page these files are cached by your browser so the load time becomes minimal.

To be fair, the toolbar only takes about 35 pixels off the top of the page and I believe it makes a minor impact on space dedicated to news. In fact, the purpose of the toolbar is to list even current headlines, comments, blogs, travel guides, slide-shows etc from those you in your feed. In my opinion its a bit of a plus rather than a minus.

The is one feature that I haven't heard in the various commentaries on this service – that the data is yours. There are links to xml and json versions of the 'your' and 'everybodys' feed at the bottom of the page with the last 75 actions. I'm eager to see if and how this gets used and embedded elsewhere.

I hope you continue to use it as it grows and develops.
