I think a lot of big sites have their flaws, including CNN. I hadn’t really thought of it though as they all look alike. But you make a good point Scott. A lot of sites use designs that are very similar to other sites, while few sites really try to go outside the mainstream design concept. Most sites look like newspaper front pages digitized to me. I’d rather see a more blog-driven format, such as GigaOm. And I don’t really think MSNBC got it wrong so much as they didn’t push the envelop or even catch up with this design.

I’m going back to CNN.com. Maybe MSNBC will get it right in another 2 years. Hahahaha.

MSNBC Redesign…is a step backwards. They need to fire their design team. The site is now more difficult to find information. They shoud have taken a page from CNN’s redesign. Perfect in my opinion. Too bad MSNBC…next time look at the other big dogs and figure out why THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE. Maybe that’s what works??
