El Nuevo Herald Not So New

When MiamiHerald.com unveiled its new and improved website, I kind of suspected that elNuevoHerald.com, its Latin American counterpart, would have enjoyed a revamp as well. Thing is, El Nuevo Herald doesn't seem to have changed a bit. I don't see any of the cool bells and whistles of the MiamiHerald.com site, such as a Mulitimedia, News Grid or even Marketplace sections. The El Nuevo Herald homepage is overwhelming, its breaking news section is buried towards the bottom of the page and its blog/columnist corners aren't as inviting and interactive as MiamiHerald.com. One thing I did find interesting was that ElNuevoHerald.com has a link at the bottom of its homepage where users/readers can offer suggestions and provide comments regarding the website. The most recent comment posted by a reader was his disastisfaction and surprise to find "old news" on the website's homepage for days at a time. Ouch!

Yeah, we're working on it next. We still haven't actually finished MiamiHerald.com.

I hope my critique wasn't misinterpreted. I figured you guys were probably up to your eyeballs with miamiherald.com
