It looks like CBC PEI's website has been spruced up by, I believe, the sometimes and perhaps lapsed blogger Mitch Cormier and pals. It is extremely useful now up from mere usefulness. It is not, however, intuitive as that means useful when used with websites.

Articles
- Articles for the sister station, A Good Beer Blog.
- Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.
- Another plume catches my eye.
- Stuff less serious than Stuff.
- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

I agree. It is definitly not intuitive. It still has that 'obligatory website' feeling to it. The potential for the any local CBC website to be the hub of the community it serves is great. It's essentially a blog with updated stories throughout the day, only its missing the connecting elements: comments, links, polls and what nots. The archives are fairly useless too, if you're looking for a older news item, and the copy hasn't changed much from the show bios.
It wouldn't take much to give the CBC websites another boost.

I think we do not agree. I meant "intuitive" is ironically useless as a term in this context as it only means "useful" but when used obfuscates and allows for crypto-priestly IT vendor mumbo-jumbery.<p>I quite like that - "mumbo-jumbery".<p>The front end is way better than the archives, however - you are quite right.

Ah...clear as mud.
"I think we not agree....
...you are quite right".
'Crypto-priestly'...nice.

You just have to remember that comedians and lawyers hide meaning for effect.

I don't know about you, but I get paid to tell the truth.
