Slate, one of my favorite reads on the interwebs, redesigned their site recently. I'd like to give it a few weeks before passing judgement... but what do you think?

    like most news/blog sites, too busy

    I don't think it's too bad -- but I do miss the left sidebar. Without it, Slate looks more like any other news site.

    I don't recall what it looked like before - but I gotta say...very different look and feel above the fold vs. below. I think I like it - like a lot.

    It's cluttered.

    It doesn't do anything to separate itself from any other news site, which is a shame, because the content has a certain personality.

    Upon first impressions it's a nice design, but the advertising lets it down, and it just looks a mess below the fold.

    However, I like the details - the colour, the typography, and the angles that mirror the logo.

    I like it actually. I didn't like it as much before - a little busy, but improved.

    I don't like it how their designed, I don't like how they arranged the fonts on the screen. It's my first time on slate.com
    How was the previous design?
