cnn 2.0 redesign vs news delivery

Although, this blog is in agreement that g0000oogle will eventually own the world or at least we'll all be working for them in the very near future. One of the obvious kingships is in the physical act of inter site search. The new cnn is clearly monetized by googlesearch bar which will make some dough. What is very interesting to see, and no surprise, is that Blogs are now more obviously part of the news from their perspective. Does it give their outlet more credibility? A little more than foxnews.com for sure. However, Tthese are their blogs and not some wild wild web news slingers, so the delivery mechanism is hopefully open for public to comment on at least. Other cool features include, predominance of rss feeds up in header and bottom of page for delivery, more editorialized as articles are tagged by hot topics, and their most recent stories are tagged with just time. The Date is left-off. The Media elements have their own sections specifically targeted toward Entertainment consumption – see their TV module. Has local weather module like the one that is on netvibes.com default setting.


If it wasn’t obvious before… this is where the web is now.
