A fascinating collection of screen captures from online news sources on 11 September. The urgency and directness of cnn.com’s front page on that day is still striking: there’s such pure logic in the stripped design. If you can keep your head while others, etc..

And it’s fun to remember how clueless and dotcommified msn.com was that day. You can picture some worthless little editor, sweating bullets, if I pull Elton John will I lose my job?
