Hmm. Losing half the content wouldn't be my first choice. WebProNews covers search and ebusiness and covering those areas is gonna take a lot of content. The news moves fast and there's just a lot of it. I think actually one of the primary goals of this review request would be geared towards the quality of the information presented and the way in which it is presented. Can you come here and feel confident you're going to see comprehensive coverage of our focus areas (search and ebusiness)?
The search results showing up on Google results pages was done initially simply as a quick 'placeholder' for the search function. Sort of a 'we'll have a search function here' kind of thing. But then after it was up, we started to kind of like it actually. It's quite fast and comprehensive and pretty much everybody is comfortable and familiar with Google style results... so what else do we want? Well sure, it's best to keep things on our domain, but the results will be sending folks back to our domain anyway. So, the value of developing/enhancing our own search function is somewhat debatable.
Again, appreciating the comments. Apart from form, though, what do you think about the function of the site. Is it accomplishing what it needs to with all of that content? I can handle the 'too much info' criticism provided we are accomplishing our goals (namely comprehensive coverage of search and ebusiness).
