The updated CNN.com is changed mostly for the better. It seems more becoming of a news site the way the hierarchy is set up, and it embraces the new multimedia craze.

A few people have noticed that there are a lot of videos and that this isn't necessarily a good thing, but it can be useful because the videos still include headlines and can give people an idea of a story without actually having to watch the video.

The matrix near the bottom center of the page is a great new addition, it has way more Important Headlines than the last site had, and has them under categories for easy sorting. The "Hot Topics" menu to the right of this is also an interestign addition; I think it would have been better with more prime placement on the home page, perhaps where the advertisement is alongside the main picture/video.

The new CNN website clearly shows a preoccupation with visuals and multimedia, but does not lose focus of the news, providing many links to all sorts of stories only 1 click from the home page. Overall, a definite upgrade.
