Bloomberg.com new layout WTF?

Quote from QuikrRetirement:

thanks you for being a self-appointed usability expert.

Now they will cower in fear and run back to the old design, simply because you were not amused.

seriously, way too much time on your hands if you need to start a thread like this, as if it were some kind of disaster...

if you don't like the fact that the internet is a dynamic, competitive place, and the fact that Bloomberg probably did this after a lot of testing and competitive analysis, then maybe you need to go back and sign up for 14.4K dialup service via America Online

way too much time on your hands to be responding to "a thread like this"

I think you should demand a refund of the $0/month you pay to access their public website. And maybe write a scathing letter to the Better Business Bureau.

They need to offer choice for you to choose the layout

On the new site scroll to the bottom and look at the lower left there is a link back to the old site.

Thanks.

I like to read the headlines and select.

Nice.
Quick.
Concise.

A lot easier on the eyes! I wish they would implement rss feeds again.

the old layout is back. RSS feeds were withdrawn from bloomberg.com a few years ago.

There is something about text on black backgrounds that just grabs the eye. I also the like old site for news clips and the quick charts to the right.

I almost need sunglasses to read the new site.

I don't get how people are saying the new site is easier on the eyes it is like staring at a light bulb compared to the old one.

I agree. I logged on this afternoon and had to return to google to re-google bloomberg b/c I thought I had arrived at the wrong page. The new layout sucks.
