Looks like the BBC News web page has had a redesign.
My reaction is probably going to be quite predictable.
1. Yuck, don’t like it, I liked what I was used to.
2. Ooh, that’s new and it makes things easier.
4. Chance upon a page using the old layout and wonder how I ever managed to read it.
People don’t like change – I do wonder if this is change for change’s sake or whether it’ll really turn out to be worth it?
ps I prefer the links to various news topics on the side!

I don’t like the new layout either. “When it’s not necessary to change, it’s necessary not to change.”

this is what i used to do
load news.bbc.co.uk
click africa, read all stories
then click america,
middle east,
asia
south asia
technology
health/science
entertainment
also in the news
few times a day. was easy to navigate
with the new redesign, i only visit asia-pacific section once a day. and moreover, only bothered to look at titles.
Can I suggest to other online news site to copy bbc’s old layout as to steal bbc’s ex-readers?
