Last week MSNBC released their new Homepage redesign. It is more beautiful than before and it's a major change to what it used to be, but mostly, they just moved things around without doing anything "smart" on how to find out what news I want to know about.
Anyway, one of the "coolest" elements of this redesign is the integration of the current weather on the header of the page. It uses beautiful suns and clouds to tell you what the current weather at your location is. It's not a shaby, tiny element. It's big and calls attention to it.
But why tell me what the current weather is at my location? I never looked at that to see what is the current temperature (I have a thermometer) and I never look at it to see if it's sunny outside (I have a window).
They should have used that space to put the weather forecast for the next couple of days. That would have been something that I look forward to see every day.
