i like the new facebook design, i think google has trained us to look at ads on the right hand side, and also the majority of web users are right handed and tend to focus our attention to the right so this will increase clicks.

To Aaron: Sitepoint and TechCruch are very different websites. For example, you won’t see a lot of iPhone messages here. When I checked the feed of TechCrunch in the past week, the first thing I did is to filter out all messages with iPhone in the headlines. I don’t hate Apple nor iPhone, but I really tired of seeing nearly half of the news feeds are flooded with iPhone…

@Aaron: It’s not our intention to compete with TechCrunch — and certainly not with Digg. That’s not what I did at ReadWriteWeb, and not what I intend to do at SitePoint. Our goal is to provide readers with more coverage of current news stories in the web tech world, hopefully interesting and thoughtful analysis and unique takes on what’s going on, and to stimulate conversations with and among our readers.

Most noticable change for me is that the FriendFeed app would make a note in my mini-feed that I had activity, and then list what it was (post to Twitter, bookmark to StumbleUpon, etc). Now, it just says I have activity. That’s it. Makes it virtually worthless. I’ll wait to see if that changes quickly, and if not, I’ll have to remove it from my Facebook account.

Nice try with the refocus of the site, but I don’t think you guys can compete with Digg and TechCrunch. You’ve left it too long IMHO and now I barely check SitePoint at all. Last time was about 2 months ago. I just don’t think you’re seen as relevant or news worthy anymore guys…
