Wow, love the redesign. I think you took the things I liked best from the old MSNBC ("New" & "Updated" tags, etc.) and solved some of the things that really bugged me (video links comingled with text links, sometimes without indicating a difference). It is fresh and exciting, excellent work for a news site!

Well, the logo is prettier...I don't like it - it feels to cluttered with all the cells. Oh, I suppose I'll have to get use to it.

I hate, hate, hate the full page "commercial" - I can't imagine MSNBC needs the money that badly. I just want the news and as quickly as possible. Ditch the commercials, seriously. I can deal with all the other changes but not this one.

Jeff, you folks and a little personal tour of the new site have made a believer out of me. I tinkered with formatting you allow me and have my modules arranged as I like to see them. I wish there were more lateral sizing and pinning available but I can live with what we now have.

I still wonder why you haven't made more use of your Newsvine.com tie. I realize you can incorporate links and even cannabalize some NV features for use here any time you want but why not during this major redesign? I was looking for a way an outsider might offer an article for publication here and haven't found one. Is anyone scanning Newsvine and other possible sites for complementary articles for this site and particularly for Alpha Channel?

And how about a spell check for comments? Or a Preview prior to sumission? But, anyway, I am quite pleased with MSNBC.com as it now is developing and see that much of what others have commented about is here, just in a new place. I am sure other improvements will follow from already considered changes and the comments of other users.

I think it is great that people are not afraid to change and that they remain open to what is new and what is better. Tell Ms. Sizemore I appreciate her efforts to Edit this gaggle and will try to be supportive of her future endeavors. Thanks to all of your staff.

Oh, oh, BTW, I almost forgot. One of my main purposes was to say I really do appreciate the Alpha Channel and will try to participate more often and with more than just a request for a Newsvine link.

Jeff,

An excellent redesign. You should all be rewarded generously for your efforts!

The change from the "old" MSNBC to the new-and-improved model is a welcome change compared to the myriad news sites out there. The site has been organized with efficiency and human modalities in mind. There is an organic nature to the site now, one that was previously eschewed in a narrow laundry-list of links. This site sets an industry standard -- let's hope future rollouts (streaming video, increased personalization) further augment an already high standard. Great work to you and the MSNBC team!

Finally you dumped the boring font. You lost me for a couple of years on that change. I'm glad to see some creativity coming back to your site.
