Applying Edward Tufte's Principles to the MindjetLabs.com Front Page

The front page of the Mindjet Labs has lots of links on it (I counted 90).  Edward Tufte, the guru of Information Design, had this comment on his website http://edwardtufte.com in a thread about good web design:

Whatever reasonably serves the content, avoids non-content pixels (including navigation and designer pixels) as much as possible, favors user scanning over substantial amounts of material rather than premature linking, reduces impediments to learning, and never requires the phrase "skip intro" on its frontpage. All this usually implies that there should be between 100 and 400 content links on the frontpage, just like a good news site.

Nearly all users come to a website for a content experience, not a designer experience.

This philosophy of workaday content-centered design is for websites that present a reasonable amount of content. The design methodology should be to find a handful of good relevant websites and do what they do. Successful news websites (Google news, NYTimes, etc.) are a good place to start.

Usually the greater the fees for commercial artists, then the more compromised the content, the greater the difficulty in navigating the website, and the more the website looks like a corporate annual report (or, in other words, pretentious, expensive, over- produced, and useless). Spend the money instead on really good content providers and editors. For Google and the NYTimes websites (which are, by the way, very well-designed), the allocation of resources between generating content material and designing the screens for that content must be something like 10,000 or 100,000 to 1.

Good sites largely stand or fall depending on their content; the design should at least avoid doing much harm to the content.

Based on that critera, do you think that the mindjetlabs.com home page is good or bad?  What suggestions do you have for improving it?
