WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: September 21, 2002 CNN.com presents new online look -- "CNN.com has launched a new design that provides better navigation, larger photos, personalized weather, a new "User Picks" feature, and more depth in specific subject areas, including technology, entertainment and world news." (Comments: Seems like they added more toys to the site. Is this a "new design" or not? What makes a new design a new design?)

What makes a new design a new design? It's new when the users complain. Seriously. Oh, ok, the patsy politically-correct WebWorder way of saying it is: A design is new when it strays enough away from the original design that casual users take notice in a significant manner. I view CNN every day. I would simply say, CNN added a toolbar, changed some colors and added more clutter. The basic layout is still very much the same. They've adapted their design, not created a new one. Posted by: Jack on September 21, 2002 02:09 PM
Urgh! The auto pop up window! One more click (close) required by the user to get to the bits and pieces of the home page *like swatting flies* Posted by: daniel szuc on September 21, 2002 11:10 PM
Ooh, Daniel, that is a cool analogy. Mind if I steal it? The CNN site gives me hives - I haven't been there in a long time. Talk about information overload! Posted by: Lydia on September 23, 2002 01:13 PM
Lydia - you can borrow it, just return it when your done ... its all yours :) From the days growing up in Australia and attending Summer Camps (not band camps) and having to put up with heat, dust and swatting away *flies* Posted by: daniel szuc on September 23, 2002 09:54 PM
