I was reading Brand New’s coverage of MSN’s new shitty rebrand and my sentiments towards msn.com reflected those of the article: I haven’t even thought of MSN in many years and the whole portal concept feels antiquated. I can’t imagine using MSN today.
But, hey, I’m a sucker for something new and not only did they get a new logo, they’ve also drastically redesigned their website. I’m actually very impressed that a design this light and airy came out of the pits of Microsoft design hell. It’s really a quite good design.
However! The first thing I noticed was the Glenn Beck article and accompanying excerpt talking about how he’s single-handedly revitalizing the “ailing book industry.” As such, I have decided to file MSN back under “useless” and forget about it for another eight years.

Oil is, regardless of this breakthrough, not going to be a major fuel in our future. But this is fantastic news even from a waste management standpoint.
