It is 10000x better in mobile view, which I assume a lot of their traffic comes through. Also, pot calling kettle black considering Gawker has changed its design something like every other month, some people still don't know how Kinja works, mobile functionality is slow and buggy every day, and some of the websites…

Funny, neither are most people commenting here, including the author of this post ;) And actually there is a web designer here who also isn't getting all the hoopla, maybe you should go and revoke her design privileges.

The site may be ugly but Cartwheel is AMAZING.

I am a devoted Target shopper and I didn't even notice the change while looking for some things online over the past few days. All that matters to me on any site is whether they have what I want and whether they offer free shipping and returns.

Hate to say it, but judging from the image you posted, the new site is better for getting customers (Christmas shoppers, at this time of year) to peruse and lose themselves in the site. Target.com is not a blog. I personally hate drop shadows in general, but they don't ruin the whole layout... The goal of design is…

It isn't that bad, they just need to get rid of the hideous dehydration pee color and the obnoxious "awe.some.toy.sale." "best.gifts.ever" The top of the site looks better than the previous site.

Pretty much exactly the same.

LOL there is really is not a big difference. Not enough to warrant an article and twitter commentary anyway. It looks like a bare bone site that has more boxes for the Holiday season, and to be honest the newer layout (returns, weekly ads, etc) looks easier to navigate.

I'm scared because I'm a web designer and I don't see what's so bad about it. Every company is going to want certain things for their site, and really, this is pretty much what I'd expect for Target. Then again, I don't know what their site used to look like.

I've never been on the site before so I don't know what it's supposed to look like, but I wouldn't immediately go "ewwwww, this site is hideous." I mean, it's not the best but you can easily find what you're looking for, which to me, makes that 90% the point.

Why does this remind me of a certain media site? *cough*

She's two so she would probably try to eat the watch, but it is awesome. Plushes are a better idea! I love that i got my toddler liking Adventure Time.

Jeez, all that because of one boob.

Sometimes Anonymous just gets it SO right.

This is the most fascinating thing I have ever read on Jezebel. Holy shit that is so scary.

This lady is awesome but I can't help but feel sad that this much action needed to be taken against the backlash that could have resulted from her daughter's SINGLE VISIBLE BREAST.

ill be honest, I havent made it through the entire article but I needed to shed some light...

How has this guy not been killed by someone? People have been murdered for a lot less.

I read this yesterday on XoJane and I thought it was just amazing.

Hm. There's also the new console generation, not to mention updated releases to the current portables (Vita has a new model, 3DS XL is releasing some great limited editions). Still, there is usually a hot toy commodity. I'm sure Skylanders is doing something.
