The best thing about the old look was the great huge articles and pics. this one is too cluttered and a step backwards if you ask me....
Oddly, a few weeks prior to you change, TUAW changed their format in a similar fashion. I stopped visiting their site in a regular browser; TiPb became my primary go-to. I find it disappointing you emulated them, and it seems like a copy-cat thing to do. Mind you, it won't prevent me visiting. I now use Flipboard to read this site and TUAW instead of an internet browser. It reformats your content into a more pleasurable magazine format.
Neowin switched to a similar style as well a few weeks ago. Seems to be quite the popular layout.
Issues:
- The font is now smaller. This is less friendly to the over-40 crowd.
Or so they think. I now only visit TIPB through my iphone. Desktop layout plain sucks !
are you serious???
anyways, i like it. great job guys!
am i the only one who gets the impression the OP is becoming a little obsessed over this?
I'm not fond of the new layout. Without a specific teaser, sometimes the first two sentences of a post don't get into the heart of the matter, and without a teaser I'm not necessarily willing to click to find out more. The photos never do it for me - I have to be lured by text. (And not headlines.) I'm reading less of the front page here now, and more at 9to5Mac, where most of the sources are anyway.
