One thing I often find myself counseling clients on is the concept of not being all things to all people. Unless you're Amazon.com, you have to focus your message and follow the KISS principle like its your only hope. Funny thing about Yahoo is they have a clean UI page for search, but they just don't use it. http://search.yahoo.com/ Sigh... Thanks for the comment on my blog too :).

It has taken me a long time as an artist and a marketer to simplify and I'm still continuing that process, but it's definitely the right path. Check out the 37 Signals blog as well @ http://www.37signals.com/svn/ if you enjoy the topic of simplicity. @Dayne – glad you liked this.

Simplicity is truly remarkable and will make you stand out." It's so true, but truly overlooked in the online and offline world. I enjoyed this post and your previous post about simplicity/complexity. As i was reading, I was flipping back to a notebook to write down ideas and reminders. Keep the posts about less vs. more coming. I think it's a great not only for PR/marketers, but for everybody in general. Thanks for providing great content! I plan on being a longtime follower of yours. Dayne PS - The examples are a great visual reminder of exactly how simple works. Adam,
