This abundance makes standing out a challenge. Many site creators try to counter this with knockout design. Fewer do so by creating compelling content. Fewer still find the third element of an outstanding site: a distinctive voice. When everyone's a tenor, a bass or soprano will stand out. Likewise, if you imbue your Web site with a unique voice, visitors will notice and remember. Therefore, be distinctive. Find your own voice." http://www.rdrop.com/~half/Creations/Writings/Web.patterns/your.own.voice.html paulquek888@lycos.com Mon, 30 Jul 2007 13:08:10 PST MLI writes that "One of the strengths of the Internet is the in-depth information that it makes available on practically any topic. ... thanks to people who made public their deep knowledge of a topic dear to them. With each unique contribution, the Internet's value increases. ...

Therefore, add something unique to your site that enriches the entire Internet." http://www.rdrop.com/~half/Creations/Writings/Web.patterns/gift.to.the.community.html paulquek888@lycos.com Mon, 30 Jul 2007 13:08:10 PST
