A few weeks back I noticed that CNN.COM had changed their interface standard from 800×600 to 1024×768. Today I received a Yahoo test page also in 1024×768.
This forward progression from major sites is much needed and hopefully this will help users push into new territories allowing for more screen real estate.
My site, RinkTime.com is currently in 800×600 however I’ve been wanting to push this out to 1024×768. I remember a time when building for 640×480 was the standard and 800×600 was frowned upon. Thank God those days are over.
