Seems fine to me:

www.tory.com

I like the globalised, green turn they are taking.

Yeah, I can't access it either. Getting DNS lookup error, but I've been to lazy to find out why.

**Clippy** · 22 May 2007, 11:52

Yeah, me too.

Problems at their end as it was down most of yesterday as well.

The Daily Telegraph website has been the victim of a mystery and destructive attack by hackers that has blocked access to the site over the last 24 hours.

The paper confirmed that its site had been the victim of a 'distributed denial of service attack' (DDoS), and that many readers had not been able to log on since yesterday morning.

I thought DoS attacks were so passe

I can't be bothered with any of those newspaper websites - Hellishly slow, riddled with horrible flashy ads (which sometimes make it impossible to save pages, in IE at least) and, worst of all, selective in what they include and for how long.

It's easy to find on the Web all the news that interests me. Practically the only reason I read the papers these days is for trivia and "curiousities", like letters from old timers with recollections or quotes that one wouldn't readily find on the web, and guess what - those are exactly the things which seem to be excluded from the websites.

(I wish a broadsheet newspaper executive would see this, and get their act together.)

Genuinely curious: where? OK, Google & Yahoo but they just get news reports from agencies and newspapers. Do you have other good sources?

And what about news in depth? Meaning, at a minimum, news written by a professional journalist who will put it in perspective, make comparisons, recall relevant history, get the story behind it Maybe that doesn't interest you, dunno, but for me that is real news: the web equivalent of shallow TV news headlines is not for me, and that seems to be the bottom that much online stuff is heading for (not to mention most TV news but that's another story).
