Homepage looks really nice, good use of color. Once you click through to an article it's a little hard to tell the difference from any other news site. They seem to all be converging towards a common format, but maybe that's just what works.

New sites can't seem to get it right. So far NY Times is my favorite. This is ok, and I respect some of the daring/out of the box things they are doing, but as a news site it doesn't sit well with me.

I'm a bit dissapointed they don't use full width. only some header images expand further than 1200px. They all talk about responsive but then only think about the small screens.
- Even on large screens that is pretty widemonospaced
- imo, it should be done like http://spectrum.ieee… nowadays. use that space!uan

Kind of funny, but ...
It's not a web design case, so much as it is a brand treatment/style thing.
- how is web design not part of brand treatment?fadein11
- Design is the extension/execution, of course. I was looking at it more from a tone of voice perspective, rather than just design for the sake of design.Continuity
- ... than the design just for the sake of design.Continuity

again, I really like it.
I think people will try to imitate it now.
It's a step ahead in the World of webdesign for sure.

This is a classic example of fucking designers applying their favourite 'cool' style to any job they have, regardless of the content and target audience.
This looks like urban outfitters.
- It's nice but not sure how the average user would approach itset
- It does have a Urban Outfitters feel as well as an indy fashion designer feel as well.organicgrid

I thought anti-design, "trash design", was throughly explored in the 90ies. Guess I was wrong. The 1 px gridblocks are something I assume is a nod to that era. Then again I might be reading into things.
Happy the designers got a chance to try this out. For sure.
Gives some hope that the days of "customer is always right" for clients could be fading away.Not sure how it'd be recieved in the long run. As fun and quirky it is I'm predicting that we'll see a redesign, or a touchup at least, in about a year.

I wonder if Bloomberg's business demographic is going to like it?
- I think thats the point - the demographic is evolving and has been for some time.fadein11

The new site is a cross between CNN's grid and layout, and Yahoo's sporadic use of animated gifs and bizarre color palettes.
Part of me likes it and the other part just vomited in my mouth.
