Web page changes to the NY Daily News - Commentary
The new NYDN site is now as horrible as the NYP site. Congratulations. The last thing everyone needs is bandwidth hogging news sites, especially for mobile users.
However, I do like the new story arrangement on the front page. I was a big fan of the travel section posted on the old front page - hopefully it will be restored.
I'm very web savvy, but "improvements" have driven a wedge between older and younger users. There is no plan for a happy medium. It's sad that the average age in the USA is inching upward, yet people who don't understand flash or how to update their system to the latest free software, are victims.
Perhaps one page dedicated to helping these people would ease some user stress.
That said, I am not looking forward to the death of the dvd either. Improvements have more to do with corporate bottom line than with user experiences.
At some point users will strike back, either by not "believing the hype" or simply ignoring what they don't understand.
Dare to prepare for the inevitable!
