philly.com: More than just another newspaper site?
I’ve been playing around with philly.com after reading Mark Potts’ impassioned promotion of the redesign.
I really wanted to get excited about the redesign. I’m not. I don’t hate it, I just don’t see any innovation. The comments are integrated with the stories, which is great, but the blogs are hidden somewhere, as are most of the things people love the internet for.
Oh, and there are polls. Very innovative. For 1994.
It feels like just about every other newspaper site out there. I’ll take more time with the site because I have family in Philadelphia and I visit philly.com from time to time. I hope it grows on me.
In the meantime: Anyone want to tell me why this redesign is newsworthy?
