The NZHerald no nonsense text site was offline for a day or so. I feared the worst but it's back. : ).

I like the ability to see all the national headlines in one glance. No other news site offers that. It is by far the best on small screens. Data use is very low. Good for slow connections or sims with very limited data plans.

It works well when the network is severely congested and nothing else will load. (This is perfect for civil emergencies etc. The web does not do enough thinking about this. Applications are taking the lead.)

There is also:

and the traditional:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/

Something I really like is NZHerald allows you to make the decision and does not automatically force a particular mode. You are free to choose the most appropriate site for your platform and taste.

Which do you use?
