News Pulse

A couple of months back CNN launched a new site design, which has turned out to be quite a game changer for news sites. The site got a much-needed facelift with emphasis on video content and imagery and a new distinctive red header was introduced among other things. However, the section that stands out the most is News Pulse, where you can instantly find out what stories have the most buzz, in real time. Digg, Reddit and other sites use a similar structure, but this is the first time I have seen a traditional media outlet embrace such technology. Well done.
