New Bloomberg Website

Water Cooler
#1

For us lesser mortals that don’t have our own terminal at our desks: What the hell was Bloomberg thinking with this new layout. It is the most awful news site I have seen. Unreadable!

#2

ya i hate it

#3

Damn, I visit it almost everday and hadn’t seen this yet. When will websites learn to stop messing with what works?

I guess this brands the site closer to the magazine…

#4

I think it is “tablet optimized” or something now. Don’t they realize that Windows 8 sucks?

#5

Its rare to see a layout go from one of the best on the web to one of the worst overnight. I really liked the old design. Maybe I need to get into the business of financial news. A clean simple site, no BS. Designed for the practitioner.

#6

Remember Digg?

#7

The site is a flaming turd bag. I’m having trouble navigating it already

#8

Agree I thought I typed in the wrong site. It looks awful.

#9

The continuous article flow you get when you click a single article is pretty annoying. It’s constantly loading new content below when all I wanted to read was a single article.

Android users: Don’t Update to the new version. the new app is a continuation of the turdgarbage website.

#10

So completely ugly.

#11

Hopefully with enough folks complaining and page views down, they’ll fix this mistake.

#12

haven’t been to that site in a while, just looked, absolutely hideous. random boxes of crap everywhere, a giant mess of slop thrown together and red/white/blue colors? EYESORE.

#13

Wow its even worse on mobile.

#14

I should get used to the new design by Christmas, at which time they’ll change it again.

#15

For some reason BloombergView still looks good, but it takes two clicks to get there from the home page.

#16

So happy this thread exists. What a horrible job they did.

#17

Sincerely hope they don’t this to their terminals. One of the reason why their terminal is so popular when Reuters also provides the same info (albeit with a small lag) is that the way information is presented is simple without any fluffy graphics.

#18

The functionality when you click through to the markets section is much improved. But the layout needs work and the horrible headache-inducing blue font just has to go!

#19

I really like the old black and orange design they had in 2008-2010 when it was just links to their articles. Now it’s all colorful and pretty, just makes me dizzy

#20

Yes!
