What a tangled web we weave...

...and before I finally stop gibbering for the night, just a thought on how semiotics might be applied to web design. Looking at the differences between information-based websites such as, say, Google, Wikipedia or the BBC and more playful, experience-based website such as Andy Campbell's Dreaming Methods, Mark Napier's Potatoland or Nicolas Clauss's Flying Puppet - well, it raises interesting questions about syntagmic choices in relation to the paradigm of interface design, as well as hinting at the connotative potential of image, texture, layout, sound, and so on. Discuss.

Hmmm... I'm not even sure if I understood what I just wrote, but these websites are well worth a look:
