So unless you’re one of the RSS subscribers to the site, you’ve probably noticed the interface revamp and identity change of web+. Gone is the pseudo web2.0 design we had going there for a few weeks that wasn’t exactly polished in many areas. In its place we’ve put this much more serious and elegant design (at least I think its elegant). Unfortunately I can’t take credit for the design, that goes to my friend Antonio who did this as a favor to me.

So what does this new design and concept mean? Well hopefully it means we’ll be able to build a brand and identity for the site, and help it grow. We’re planning a few of our own social networking events (in firstlife, not second life folks, well maybe in second life too, who knows, we’ll see.).

So what do we have planned for the upcoming season? Well Barcamp is going to be a great event hosted by UM and organized by our very own Alex de Carvalho. We are also planning a web+drinks event in late February which will be more of a cocktail party/bar meetup than anything. We’re hoping some interesting conversations can emerge from events like this.

Further down the line, Josip Vilicic and myself will be presenting/organizing a web+marketing workshop. So keep your eyes peeled for that. If you’re interested in attending/presenting, email me brian[at]webpl.us. So I hope you enjoy the new site! Feedback is ALWAYS welcome.

Please excuse some of the dust, I am still working on the details/minor issues. They should be resolved today.

honest feedback?

- seems weird to have about, etc.. within every post.
- whats the most important thing when i get to your site? posts or side bar. figure it out. if it is posts i would put sidebar on the right.
- too many categories. i would showcase the most popular
- link out to your most popular posts. give people somewhere to go
- i like the event stuff
- like the web + text thingy
- add the related posts plug-in
- the previous post link on top is confusing in single view post
- where is the rss, email subscribe stuff?

Great job on the site’s redesign, Brian and Antonio! I really like the new look and think it brings out the main content better. You’ve raised the bar!

Oh … It would be nice to get the events listing as a separate feed …

(disclosure: I post occasionally here).

Alex,
Thats a good idea for the seperate feed. I’ll have to figure that one out…

I expected links on the events listings. How do I find out more?

I didn’t even know the about, etc., stuff was clickable. I looked right past it.

Archives by date have never made much sense to me. Not in 1999, not now.

Despite these negative things, I think you have a good platform with this design.
