Chris

Thanks for your feedback. We will take this into account and go over all our feedback and make sure we make you happy.

Hey maybe because it looks good, you can comeback more often and not be such a stranger :-)

Can't say that I am a fan of the new design. While it looks gorgeous, I come here to read articles and can't find them like I used to. As a casual reader who is here a couple times a week, I miss the big long 20 post format of the home page.

Good. Very Clean theme, makes the content look more important and readable.

One quick suggestion...the featured post section takes too long to switch, somewhere around 30-35 secs between each post. You may want to make it faster...say may be 10-15 secs...

Thanks.

Love the new design Om. Very reader-friendly. Not as linear as a blog. More interesting to explore. Great work Jaime!

Hey, just got my first look on a real machine and it's really a nice remake. I appreciate the aesthetic and readability.

My other point still applies, maybe you need a m.gigaom.com subdomain?

Good job!

Just want to say that the new look aint good on blackberry. Usually visit everyday, don't use images.(Blackberry now too)

The amount of links between the top of the page and the articles seems to have tripled, and when I click on a 'read more' I have to rip down the 30 or 40 again... It burns up my bandwidth cuz I just saw all those links... Also, experience less direct/fun.

I'm sure the designs are nice, but wanted to give my feedback.

Have been getting used to the new design for the last few days. My reaction to the design is mixed.

Old homepage was much better. Landed on the homepage and could get much more inputs as to which post one would like to get into first. Many more post headlines with some description could be seen in a glance and a scroll.

However, the new design is great once you enter the article. Its good. Thums up to the GigaOM team.

However I have a question for them, hope someone from the team takes it on.

Gigaom has 1.1+ million followers on Twitter with a corresponding number of 3K+ on Facebook. While aesthetics is an important objective of any redesign, driving traffic to and within the site are also important objectives. Will the site redesign impact the skew in the numbers in any way?

Seemed cleaner to look at, at the same time confusing. Deviations from the standard blog format may repel new users.
