It looks like a magazine... which is not a compliment.

 

[Anubis]

the what now?

also the website design is shit and does not like IE7 or 8

It looks like a The Enquirer... which is not a compliment.

Yeah, especially with the "comments" after the headlines...

 

[Anubis]

why do i have to scroll a mile and a half to get from the top of the front page to the bottom

 

[swanysto]

I didn't think it was that bad. Read through a bit. Might keep an eye on it.

 

[TheStu]

That is a busy, busy design.

 

[abaez]

Oh geez, thank god for RSS.

 

[vshah]

site is slow as HELL. hate it.

lol, an article about HTC radar on the Android up page. awesome.

 

[Deeko]

Hmm. That's kinda ugly. Although on the flip side, at least they broke away from the every-blog-that-looks-the-same format.

i don't give a shit how the blog looks, i want it to be easy to read. the "every blog looks the same format" is the easiest to read...i wish blogs wouldn't waste creative cycles coming up with these bullshit layouts just to be different.

True, they are failing in the easy to read format, but I'm at least happy that they got away from that idiotic "lets flip the next page/previous page controls to the opposite side from where they logically belong" that Engadget and so many other blogs insist on using.

 

[vshah]

i hope they keep posting content in a blog format, perhaps on thisismynext. i do like the writing and reviews.

Update your browser to something that's not shit.

Balls. I liked the thisismynext layout! Simple, fast, and it went in order.

 

[randomlinh]

the article pages themselves seem fine. I go directly to them from reader anyway. But yeah, the front page is a hot mess.

 

[Demo24]

Actually I don't mind this so much. It looks WORLDS better than TIMN. And I thought TIMN was a terrible website, horrible use of space and you scrolled for days to find the end. Each article addition took up like half the screen because they centralized everything into such a small column.

 

[Dominato3r]

Mobile site is horrible. Full site isn't too bad.

 

[notposting]

I tried opening the "welcome to the verge" and it crashed firefox. Awesome design fellas.

ATTABOY Moosie!
Obviously you’ve invested tremendous creativity & artistry into designing the aesthetics and content of that site. A Herculean achievement!

Our local rubbery-nosed moosie claims, and I’ve never had cause to doubt him when he’s off that danged timothy hay that drives him so loco, that it’s good for... and I quote him,

“all moosies with big rubbery noses, greedy appetite fatso guinea pigs, devious wiggly nosed rabbits always secretly calculating their next escape, and at least one insatiably horny wild stallion horse who writes too-lengthy posts,” to pause for a time-out, in recognition and celebration of crossing any “finish line”in life.

WTH?

 

[Munky]

The layout is too busy and too much text in a confined space. I stopped reading after 30 seconds.

 

[foghorn67]

This is what you get when a bunch of hipsters run the show.
