I have to admit, it is hard to notice if you don’t actually look for it, but it is a little improvement. Like most of Web 2.0 sites, they now have boxes with rounded corners, the logo got a light 3D look and the content got a little narrower.

RSS has totally changed the way I surf. If I see a post on Memorandum (or TechCrunch) I like in the RSS feed, I click it and without even looking, click the corresponding link to the site with the article. Sorry to all the web designers out there but, on my end, RSS is making web aesthetics obsolete.

It's better, but it's still fairly horrible. Also, the right column needs to fixed. It should to be (re)organized and have neat features added to it. A design compo - now there's an idea.

Yuck. Whats with the non anti-aliased uppercase italics in the headers? Looks like 1997 geocities sites all over again. Not 1996 geocities cause it *does* have rounded corners.

For me, the redesign has tidied things up, but the design is still pretty arbitrary. The colurs are dirty, the text is all over the place, there is no sense of rhythm or design unity. Why oh why don't Memeorandum throw the gauntlet down and hold a design competition. I for one would definitely enter. As with many of the sites you cover (although not all of them - I have to say that I am very impressed with Newsvine) we reckon there are a number of usability issues as well. We'll be user testing a number of sites - including the big boys like Flickr - over the next few weeks and I'd liketo find somewhere to post the results...
