East Asian Times
Usability: www.eastasiantimes.com (xhtml-mp)
The East Asian Times is a strange site. The top of each page carries a header image with the words "Ebeling Heffernan" which is the name of a financial analytics and consulting company specializing in Asian investments. I though it was an ad banner but clicking just goes to the East Asian Times home page.
The site's FAQ page refers to the site as The Phuket Sun with no mention the East Asian Times or Ebeling Heffernan.
Confusing branding aside, the site is a pretty good Asian news site that carries page after page of headline stories. The stories are are arranged chronologically and you can go back in time almost indefinitely,"river of news" style by clinking a "Next Page" link.
