Helping companies communicate better with their customers through the use of weblogs and smart user interface design.
…and of course they’re sent to Pimp Daddy Douglas, who else? These screenshots are stored on my Flickr account for quick retrieval but originally came from Valleywag.com. It looks as though silverorange is still doing design duties, and the new sections are a reality. Enjoy!
Great stuff, now let’s see:
All in all, looks like they are going for the same look, evolving it quite a bit. I guess “realigned” is the buzzword I’m looking for. :)
Good list Olav!
I guess the Beta listings mark the new sections that are in Beta, which makes me assume that some of the newer sections aren’t going to be in Beta? I guess it would look pretty stupid with 25 (this is the number I’ve heard on the new sections, not 100% sure) Beta badges all over the place, so my guess is they’re only releasing a few different sections in this iteration.
I do think that adding more than 4-5 new sections besides the established Technology one would be overkill and would suffer from quality problems.
Also, I’ve noticed that Federated Media rarely sells any ad space on the site because it’s normally filled with just Google ads. I wonder if that will change once the new site hits.
You missed the “Hang On” Ajax wait thingamajig while updating in-page content in the first screenshot.
I did, and it looks like a good thing. Ajax could have been made for a site like Digg.
Mike: Digg’s overall quality is quite poor I think, but its devoted users makes a great filter. Let’s hope that will apply to the new sections.
About advertising, it would be great to get an insight into Digg’s ad revenue. Wouldn’t consider that crowd the ad-clicking type.
I agree with Olav on this thoughts. I have found the site a little clunky at times but it is light and functional and that is what is important for the readers of Digg. That ad question is a good one too…..I do see clickers going there either.
We started Business Logs because we enjoyed making users' interaction with technology better. Previously we've built web publishing networks from the ground up, developed web applications for some of the largest audiences in the world, and designed mission-critical U.S. military software.
What do all these projects have in common? Communication!
When communication breaks down between users and software, between companies and their customers, or between team members on a project, everything suffers. We can make customer communication and team collaboration more meaningful.
We believe that high quality design isn't something you tack on, but something integral to the success of your project and company. Communication, design, and usability coming together to make you more successful.
We've designed award-winning websites, weblogs, and web applications, but more importantly we've improved the experience with our clients' technology.
We value your company's brand, so we never use bland weblog templates for your project — we apply our award-winning design talent to every client, every time.
The face of your company lies in the way you communicate with your customers, and we can help make sure your face is always a friendly one.
