I don't like the "from our partners" section. I like how they broke it out on the current version.

much improved. lots of breathing room where the current site is claustrophobic.

you say "breating room", i say sparse...

me likey. glad they lost the brushed chrome look.
seems like they are designing for 1997 bandwidth tho. it's very light.

ooh. just realized they converted to flash video and lost the pop-up -- great move, since watching their old windows media (or whatever it was) video was a drag on macs.
in terms of bandwidth, i don't see a reason why a site like cnn needs to blow out some insane, bandwidth clogging design.
clean, simple, unintrusive, and fast loading should be goals for any site like this.

I agree, it's much better. Cleaner, loads better, it makes me actually want to explore instead of just closing it.
- effort0
haha. totally. even tho the old cnn is still better than the new nytimes.com

I worked a bit on this one at Razorfish... A friend of mine was the AD. Just wanted to ensure you, that this version is exactly as the name suggests -- BETA. There are many interesting methods of display and modular variations coming up.
