Feature request for Google News, please…
I would greatly appreciate it if, when the text-only version of Google News is selected, the redirect software was also smart enough to redirect you to a text-only version of the selected article, if available.
The reasoning behind this is simple: people select the text-only version for a reason, probably (like me) because they’re bandwidth-limited. Do you have any idea how long it takes to read three stories on a 9600 bps dialup connection? Well, my browsing would be greatly expedited if Google could automatically select a text-only version of the news story I click, rather than forcing me to wait for the entire graphics-laden version to load and then locate a text-only link on my own.
Am I the only one who thinks this would be a useful and desirable feature?
