CNN website re-launched
Rating: news, man, rocking, hot news
As the edgiest bloggers around we admire companies that advertise with us (as we don’t offer disclaimers) and those that eagerly want us to test their new products and services as only honest reviews get posted.
CNN website has revamped and we beta tested the first mobile site and we were asked to beta test the website re-vamp too.
What we think?
Well its cleaner the white background looks fresh and it’s a lot less messy than the original.
Hot new features included being able to get the story via a number of different means on the same web page. Basically news stories can be seen in text, image, video on one page and users have the choice how to view or interact and recommendation is in place with a similar stories feature.
What we find funny is that online there is a Google search box and on mobile it’s a Yahoo! Search box – its not one search on mobile just search. Two search strategies online and mobile with the two market branded leaders. Personally a CNN branded search on both the website and mobile would have offered a stronger branded and usability experience. But we do think that this proves that the Google has a weaker mobile search solution on mobile than Yahoo!
