Hey Everyone,

As some of you might have heard, Altavista is redesigning. Well, I guess you can call it redesigning, although it's really just putting the older, better design back into place. View more info at the following URL:

What are your comments? I personally think it's a good change, 'cause I never liked the current design.

I never much liked the current design, either- but I find it funny that they say they are doing a "new" redesign when in fact they are just putting their old site design back up.

Be fair to alta vista everyone !!!
I mean, isn't their logo a little bit different & isn't that a new advertisment at the top !!!

I guess we should respect them a little though as they have taken a step backwards to satisfy the people who prefered the old look over the new one.

Before you criticise someone walk a mile in their shoes......
Then, if they don't like what you say they are 1 mile away and barefoot.

Yeah, I agree that their logo is a little "different," but it could be a lot better. I guess that doesn't really matter though since I really only use them because of their search engine.

Anymore comments?

It's an improvement over the current design, but I still think that Google has the best design Wink
