Lintas Berita starts to apply their Frame Bar, which is very similar to Digg’s DiggBar where they display stats and info about the website visited. This probably based on the behavior of their user and the nature of the website itself that people tend to get out from the website, it’s like throwing away visitors to another website and it’s most likely that they’re going stay inside the website.
Anyway, it’s just common sense that LB decided to go where Digg has gone before (and failed miserably). But if we think about it, Indonesian people are not that grumpy about it, they’re pretty relaxed. Well, by relaxed i mean they don’t have any idea what’s going on so as long as they can see and read websites thru it, it’s fine. While for LB, this can actually double/triple their traffic and it’s a good way to keep visitors inside the LB website by making it easier for them to go back thru a link on the LB Bar.
They can also use the frame bar to track their visitor’s behavior, gathering demographic information about their users and probably use the data for something good (don’t sell it to advertiser). This is the second time we’ve covered LB this week, i guess they’re doing something significant about the website in terms of strategy and business models. Good to know.
