I really liked the design. Did you make it yourself? I wanted to let you know about ReadPrint.com -- a massive non-profit library similar to Bartleby -- except its far better organized and user friendly. We've been using it extensively in school nowadays -- it's great for doing research since you can search within the books. Hi,

Boring. I do think they've made some usability improvements though (particularly with the video). Patrick – my reaction to the design was to not really to have a reaction. Boring.

My criticism of this site is the same as my criticism of the new WaPo: more whitespace equals less substance. Except they've taken it to a new extreme. There's a balance to be struck and the current CNN.com does it quite well. You don't go quite as busy as most of the sports sites or what my friends at Townhall.com are doing, but you've got to show some meat on the bone. A basic three column design like this might work for a lifestyle pub like Portfolio.com, but for "the world's news leader?" Are we at a point where we are regressing on Web design? I think so. Most of the sites that weren't abjectly horrible before (like USA Today) have gotten worse with redesigns. This is pretty weak and nowhere close to the existing CNN.com.

It now uses most of my screen and it looks more in depth and professional. I always use CNN.com. I like the way the site has got wider.
