I agree with Nielsen's view. I worked as an intern at GameSpot.com, a huge Web site with tons of users, many of whom are hard-core video-gamers. (I should know, because I was one for a few years.) That's a site where less is not more to most users.
However, I don't think that's the case for most sites, especially newspapers' sites, which most often are absolutely overrun with content, crammed into every corner of every page.
