slate = cheap blog?

The newly redesigned Slate feels like a cheap blog according to one reader.

It’s obvious that Slate is trying to get some of that “blogs are the new cool” smell on it by taking many style cues from snarky, pop-culture obsessed blogs.

I love that the redesign is “Presented by Nissan” Great idea to get a buck or two. As for the design, I like it for some of the reasons that avid Slate readers hate it. It feels like a warm, often updated blog of interest. That being said, I haven’t had a reason to visit Slate in years, and I doubt they’re doing the smart thing by ticking off regular customers.
