    Hate the new site. It's 'way to busy with animation and disorganized story headline boxes. Takes forever to load (and I'm on a high speed connection) and once loaded it continually bogs down as new animations and ads are loaded. I cannot find the Periscope section where I always started my read, and the CW section appears sloppy with no logic to the layout - items are repeated and there are some that are from weeks ago. Why did you change something that was working so well? I'll see you on the Time site.

      Change is difficult for some people. TIME has a good site, but this is clearly an improvement for Newsweek.

      Anyone who works with information on the web understands that things are in constant flux as providers must try new things, some of which work well and some of which do not. I applaude the effort and the gains.

    oops -- sorry, I posted my comment regarding the Magazine to the wrong area.

    Ok, the personal stories are very touching, it is true, and Ok, this does tangentially touch upon our misguided policies in Iraq. But we are threatening military strikes against Iran, and Newsweek puts a love story on the cover? Shouldn't we all be yelling about military strikes "No, not again!" We need to have an open dialogue about who influences our foregn policy and how it gets formed. And if Newsweek had the nerve, it shoud run a cover story on "The Israel Lobby and U.S Foreign Policy." The wikipedia site has a great synopsis of what every American ought to know. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Israel_Lobby_and_U.S._Foreign_Policy Newsweek needs to address this front and center.

    So, where, exactly is the "daily Conventional Wisdom"? I can't find it. Otherwise, love the new site.

    I have always been a Newsweek fan, but Meacham and team are doing a great job with this new web site to extend the magazine and make it more relevant to me on a more than once a week basis. I read about the redesign in the latest issue on a flight from Europe yesterday, and I made a note to check things out today. I am impressed with what I have seen at first glance.

    looks a lot better and easier to navigate.

    Great job Jon, re-creating the whole mag into a women's issues forum . Why don't you go home , light a bunch of candles , and treat yourself to a hot bath
