Evan Williams (Odeo CEO and Pyra/Blogger co-founder) has an interesting post up about the fading significance of pageview and hit counts in determining the reach and influence of websites. Ajax, RSS and widgets have something to do with it, argues Ev — but so does crappy design that effectively forces the user to clickclickclick many times to accomplish a task that leaner design would permit in just a single click. Crappy design like you’ll find on MySpace.

Great blog. I’ve added it to my blogroll. This stuff about pageviews being genreated by inefficiencies in design makes good sense, too.
