Video Review of the new WashingtonPost.com
Written by Allen Stern - March 30, 2007
The Washington Post launched a new version of their web site yesterday. I like it. As compared the overwhelming NY Times or the wanna-be portal LA Times, the Washington Post has created something that is well put together and the usability is higher than the other 2 listed.
They have added some social networking features without going overboard as some of the other newspaper web sites have. You can add stories to digg and the crew along with a Technorati module to show inbound links to a story. The recipes section is very well done and isn't littered with ads as on allrecipe.
There are some small bugs in IE with the site (mostly showing incorrect fonts and styles) but overall I think they did a very nice job. It does appear they have listened to the users of the site and tried to meet their needs and demands.
Check out my video review:
