为何大部分中文网站和网页设计要比英文的更复杂？

来自 Quora 英文问题：/Why-are-Chinese-websites-and-software-interfaces-always-complicated-and-English-language-websites-like-Google-LinkedIn-and-Twitter-much-simpler

问题说明：Facebook is complicated I know; but English-language developers (Im trying not to be too nation-based here, but most of what Im talking about comes from Silicon Valley) seem to value simplicity, while Chinese developers do not. I want to explore the cultural differences that lead to this result. Sinas Chinese homepage is a great example of densely-packed information overload, but it is very popular.

简要翻译：Facebook 算复杂这我知道，不过大部分英文软件工程师（不是想弄得太以国籍划分，不过我说的'是硅谷的人）都比较在意简洁性，而中文工程师仿佛并非如此。我想要理解一下这里面的文化根源。新浪的中文页面就是一个繁复网页的绝佳例子，而且它还那么的红。
