MSN Gets a Modern Look
This is awesome, but it came out of nowhere. MSN has dumped the look that it had for 10 years! With today’s clean, whitespace-friendly, reimagining of MSN.com, Microsoft ditches MSN search and delivers a site that’s a little more worthy of showing off the company’s new search engine, Bing.
A prettier, less jacked-up layout and a cool Bing search bar aren’t the only upgrades to the homepage. In a touch that says Microsoft actually knows what year it is after all, you can add your Facebook newsfeed and your Twitter stream to an area on the right side of the page. The news is still there, but it’s more customizable, and the layout presents fewer stories at a time than the cluttered old MSN.com did. There’s also a local focus, with local weather and a Bing-powered local news widget at the bottom left.
