I’m a fan of redesigns, particularly on the web of sites that I love. If you haven’t seen it yet, NYTimes.com has now been redone. I like the new layout, the new font, and the buttons at the top.
What’s missing?
For starters, the “blogged” button is the right idea, but only comes halfway. I want to know which blogs are talking about the NYT articles. Just telling me that some article is the most blogged is sort of meaningless. NYT would do well to take a page from The Washington Post which has a Technorati link in the middle of each story that tells you who is talking about the article.
In related news, the NYT is looking for a “futurist“. Really.
We had a futurist, Andrew Zolli, at Sales Conference this year, and he was fantastic. One of the best speakers. Also, Thomas Friedman did a thing for it, which reminded once again that I am still going to send you that autograph… someday.
