NBC News Grows a Tail!
I justed watched a news clip featured on NBC's seven o'clock show describing the launch of the NBC news online interface re-design and felt compelled to blog about it :) The site's design featured in the demo was very streamlined and seemed to be quite user friendly, reporting breaking news from various sources around the world. The demo showed blogging features as well as an area where users can submit photos to the site. Now the amateur can be part of the news that gets reported. Just as many other industries mentioned in the Anderson reading, the news industry is now tapping into the strength of the long tail. Although I was quite disappointed when I logged onto the website and found the same old interface design. After poking around the site for awhile with no success in finding the design I just saw demo'ed I turned to Google. Although it didn't help me find what I was looking for, I did come across the following article which I found interesting and wanted to share :) Feel free to comment and leave your thoughts!
