NYTimes.com, the online portal to the New York Times, wrote a letter to its readers on Sunday describing the redesign of their site. Among the new features are improved navigation and an up-to-the minute “most popular” section. Also added is a tab that takes you to articles as they appeared in the newspaper. In a word, their page has become more interactive, customizable, up-to-date, and functional. With all that function, I hope they don’t forget they have to keep posting news.
We also wanted to give our readers a greater voice and sprinkle a little more serendipity around the site by providing prominent links to a list of most e-mailed and blogged articles, most searched for information and popular movies. A new tab at the top of the page takes you directly to all our most popular features.
