The Big Footer League

No, Not The Big Footy League!
If you have not heard of the Big Footer League, then as they say, watch this space. It may be the start of a trend. To see a big footer in action, click on the Full Blog Info arrow at the top left of the screen, which will take you to the bottom of the page, where of course there is a footer. You can then return by clicking on the up arrow in the top left of that screen.
It is all part of the new Web redesign, which incorporates what we called foolish footers in another place. Another supporter of the Big Footer League called it a content-rich footer, which is a better description. Another description was the Footer Mullet. Perhaps it is all part of the Evolution of the Footer.
The aim is to take all that information that only keen visitors wish to find and put it below the fold. It is all down there if you are looking for it. You will find more and more examples as time goes on. Here are a sample of what you will currently find.
- BusinessLogs
Helping companies communicate better with their customers through the use of weblogs and smart user interface design. - Juque
- Subtraction
- GasPedal BlogWell
As it happens one of the movers and shakers on the web, SEOmoz, has just redesigned their website and is a member of the Big Footer league. Their big announcement today is Linkscape, which is backed by a 30 billion URL database. It is nice to be in such good company.
You may wish to let us know in the comments whether you too are joining the Big Footer League. You could be helping to set the trend.

I’ve seen this a lot already without reading your post but never thought anything of it. It seems the way to go and i think it looks good when done properly, like on seomoz.org for example, this is nicely done but some people take it too far and put far too much stuff in their footer.
