The Web: A Work in Progress
“On Monday, the always-bouncy Boing-Boing published a post about text greeking–you know, the ‘lorem ipsum’ placeholder text that designers often use to flesh out a layout while waiting for final copy. That post got me to thinking: how many Web pages have gone live with placeholder text of one kind or another? Sounds like a job for Google–and a great way to procrastinate while looking busy.” (Thanks Zeldman!)
