Couple of typos. Extra “T” at the end of the post and “T” missing in the last sentence of the last para

Slow and bulky…just like a Myspace page. Ugh. I’m not impressed.

Oops, i meant to say ‘T’ missing in the last sentence of third para from the top. Sorry.

Thanks Michael

I liked the site design but hated the ticker at the bottom. Also the horizontal scroll bar was annoying..

The large flashy ads under the tab navigation and on the right are quite distracting. Site is too content heavy with layout quite confusing. Can’t really focus on anything. Too many tools/features/content featured on a single page.

Didn’t found anything to switch. Stick with Yahoo finance.

News sites will have to embed more videos on their sits if they want to stay
competitive.

When are designers going to get away from taking a sharepoint style blocky multi-column approach for these large finance/corporate sites? They paid someone a hell of a lot of money to design this site most likely, and it’s just murder to get through. There are multiple navigation metaphors, ajaxy scrolling, browser scrolling, horizontal scrolling, big ads, small ads, content in 10 different formats…Web 2.0 is sometimes a lot of b*llsh*t but one thing it has done is brought a heightened attention to design. I don’t think a lot of people will even deal with a site like this anymore - why bother when you can get the same information from a much better designed YahooFinance. You gotta nail it or people feel like their time is being wasted. And because this isn’t a startup who lives the release early and often mantra, one shouldn’t expect to see CNBC online change much any time soon. Hopefully they will prove me wrong and be more nimble than I give them credit for.

Bad design - - coulumns - to many - advertisments - too many - Tech crunch went to far with the top banner ad - by the way -

- Mike?! Do you really have to whore out the top banner ? space - if you need some money I could loan ya some bucks heh - later, RB

The ticker at the bottom of the page is annoying — now my page up / page down doesn’t work for the main article and I have to use the mouse to click on the scroll bar. That’s almost enough right there to not make me want to go back.

If they’re really stuck on this ticker idea they could make it a pop under that people have control over if they want to see it.

Also I’m not sure if they are going to be succesful charging $10 a month for a video feed. I really just want to watch about 30 minutes of it a day but can’t see paying for it. Maybe mutual fund / banks will subsidize this, ie open up a Charles Schwab account and get a free CNBC Plus account.

They got it all wrong. Ads are slow loading and it’s missing important features. I have to agree with these guys that it really sucks.

Dude it is not even free, like bloomberg, how are they suppose to compete … what a waste of a remake if your not going to make your webcasts streaming free.

Have they not even learned from the TV Stations mistakes.

It’s not even working (Firefox, Mac PPC).

Getting “NOT FOUND” errors.

What’s with the frames?

Finances, who cares about them?
