From: Eva Category: Consumer Date: 31 March 2008 Time: 02:27 PM Review: http://news.bbc.co.uk Cleaner, less 'busy' and, finally, standards compliant. The adverts are more discreet on the sides (odd you only get the ads when out of the UK). I don't know if the redesign has ads for UK users too. All that's needed now is an improvement of the content. Why is this website so full of crap? It's even worse than the BBC's broadcast news (I wouldn't have thought it was possible). It's full of domestic family tragedies and 'quirky' stories imported from the USA. It's annoying that if you're looking for a particular news item from a country outside of the UK (like an election or major natural disaster that's not made the front page 'cos another local kid's missing), if it's not highlighted and you click on the country you just get a naff country profile - non-revisionist school geography style. BBC News: been trying harder but should concentrate on content as well as appearance - can do a lot better.
