The FT’s site is a year old this week, but it doesn’t stand still, new sections and features are continually being added. Like the newspaper, the site doesn’t muck about, there are no abstract clickable links. Every aspect of the site is laid out in a clear and simple way which makes it easy to navigate, although it can take a while to log in.
Most of the features are taken directly from the paper, but the news section is up-dated though out the day. The share service and exchange rates are only updated daily; considering the site is aiming to be the premier on-line business service, surely business users would surely prefer more regular updates.
The newest addition to the site is the database of the UK’s top 100 companies and links to their sites where available.
Overall, the site is a useful source of information, but it needs to exploit the interactive nature of the Net, if it is to become an invaluable tool for business users.
