The site includes Podcasts (for iTunes and in RSS and MP3 format), photo galleries, video, maps, a guide to some of the shorts available online, blogs, forums and more. The amount of information available is impressive, and the editors there obviously thought about the audience’s ‘jobs to be done.’
Unfortunately, some of those jobs might take a while to do. The Tribune has a good movie guide Web site, at www.film-finder.com, with reviews, showtimes, maps, etc. They also have an events database and restaurant finder at In Utah This Week and the Utah City Guide. But we can’t find any of the Sundance films at film-finder.com or on the other sites. Instead, the Sundance premiers and restaurant information are in a difficult-to-scan flat text article (see an example).
Still, their efforts are worth checking out. Comments?
