NBCNEWS.com: "This thing belongs in Toys R Us in the 4 to 6 year old section"

[IDemo]

I have to agree with one commenter on the newly designed NBC News website. I think they have decided to focus strictly on the users featured in the current top tile/picture/story (Win 8, anyone??).

1. Yup, Windows 8 looking crappy thing. Like a giant 27-inch iPad app.

I don't care for it at all.

2. The Font is HUGE

Funny, I would think that would be more popular here.

3. Have to agree - Hate the new version n/t

4. The new MSNBC.com site is really good though...

Here: http://www.msnbc.com/

You can click on the word WATCH at the top of the page, pick a show, and watch all the segments from every show after they have aired on TV.

5. Sweet Jesus, I"m done with NBCNews.com now

That's virtually unreadable.

6. The new nbcnews.com website is horrible.

It caters to people who don't like to read.

I hate it.

7. I immediately removed it from my bookmarks and emailed them

to tell them what I think of that shitty webdesign.

Horrible

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Went there..threw up...never to return.

the blue banner takes up 60% of the available space, on my puter.

Oh well,looks like they don't care if they are viewed or not.

[Whisp]

9. It looks like someone's 11 year old niece built that

for free.

geeze.

[frazzled]

10. Yipes, it's a kiddie picture book

I think they're conserving on actual language–-it's too time consuming and expensive. Are they assuming their readership is, um, illiterate?

[femmocrat]

11. I hate it! It makes my eyeballs hurt.

They have ruined my day.

[Stuart G]

12. I went there today, and it is awful..

ugly pictures....
.........crap.

I won't go there anymore.

[E-Z-B]

13. I thought the site was hacked.

[1000words]

14. It looks like it was designed with tablets in mind

[IDemo]

16. Or...

[1000words]

17. Ha!

Either way, it does look oversimplified.

On a related note: The cow says, "Mooooo ..."

[neverforget]

15. It's unreadable.

and it sucks.

[DebJ]

18. First I sent an email. Now I'm on their Facebook page posting links of negative

comments from all over the web, with many people saying they won't use the site anymore.

[DebJ]

19. Wow their Facebook page is filling up with negative comments. nt

[Stuart G]

20. I went back there today..just to take a look. Ugly as can be..

I am sure that I will not go back there for news of any kind. Reminds me of the Edsel car.
What a mistake..........or remember when Coke changed their formula. that wasn't to bright either.
The old site had lots of news lined up, now you got to stay their and click on their crap to get more info..
Fuck Them. They want me to stay longer.............

and now, I won't visit them at all.....
