Time Magazine’s homepage, Time.com, just got relaunched with a cleaner design. Not perfect if you ask me, but decent enough.
We’ve given the site a long-overdue face-lift, and you will find a sharp, dynamic, constantly updated news site within a new but familiar red border. You’ll see more space to show off our world-class photography, our superb writers and columnists, and now you can start your day by checking our news blog, The Ag, which smartly aggregates and summarizes the most important stories from daily newspapers and blogs around the world.
The Ag is what I think is interesting, since they’re pushing it pretty hard on the site.
The Ag is the work of Time’s Matthew Yeomans, an early-rising journalist based in Cardiff, Wales. Yeomans scours his bookmarks and RSS feeds every weekday morning and writes a digested version of the best stories from hundreds of the world’s great newspapers and blogs, giving you all the news you need to read without reading all the news.
A clean, straightforward look of The Ag, easy access to social bookmarking sites and RSS subscription as well as links to the other Time blogs makes The Ag look like a great idea. And it probably is. Time seems to have understood that media is changing, and if you want to survive online you need to deliver a great product.
