Not enough information.  The summary is too brief.
I'd have to click too many things and be at the mercy
of my internet dload speed/sf website speed/short term
memory loss :-o

That ones sort of messy.  There's a lot going on for
the font and style.  Hard to grasp the simple point
of the page.  (Sort of a general bloat gripe about SF).

Now that I like.  I was hoping for something really simple.
It could even be straight text, if that's easy to roll out.
Though, I still think cutting and pasting a minimal html 
version would be straightforward enough.

What might be intersting is to pop up a new half sized window
when the user clicked the NoyesNews link.  That window would
be absolutely minimal with only the news in text or html format.
Then you could sort of put that small window off to the side
of your desktop and click on a link while watching it appear 
in your main browser window.

Normally I dislike the idea of popping open a new window, but
in this instance it seems useful.

I think that's the idea.  Then it's well searchable. 

Does that make any sense?
