...oh, everything. Topic pages, one of my favorite features introduced in the relaunch, can be found at the top of every page of CNN.com and sprinkled contextually throughout the site. Compiling as many as 100 news stories on a particular topic, we now have more than 100,000 of them and counting. Topic pages allow the editors and staff at CNN.com to package and present more of the daily coverage that we produce, on more topics of interest to more of our users. RSS feeds are available for each, too, whether you're following Michael Vick's dogfighting charges, the shocking revelations at NASA or Lindsay Lohan. Every few weeks a small group of us here at CNN.com get together for what we informally call an "Exchange Think" session. We'll extract ourselves from the often frenetic pace of the newsroom, find a quiet corner, and share all the cool new things we've stumbled upon online, let each other know about new blogs, and just dream up fun ideas for the site. As many of you have noted through our feedback forms, we also overhauled our weather system. One thing you told us loud and clear in our research for this project was that weather was important to everyone (in one way or another). We wanted to make sure that we were able to provide you with the most useful and meaningful weather experience possible. As many of you know during the beta period – and now post-launch – we are soliciting your feedback through links on the site and through this blog. And your feedback has been invaluable to us as we continue to evolve the site. In addition to helping us shape our next features, fight bugs, and simply "telling it to us like it is," these comments have also helped us take ourselves a little less seriously and acted as a source for some internal comic relief. I receive hourly updates on comments and while it's not possible to read them all, I have read a lot of them. Below are some favorites, each with their own special award. |
