Amazon's new site design: what's different?
Change is in the air. Just last week we reported that eBay is updating its 1990s style design. Now it looks like Amazon is getting ready to give its online store a bit of a nip and tuck as well.
Don't expect any drastic changes. Most of the updates are cosmetic. For example, you can choose categories to search and browser through a navigation panel on the left side of any screen. You know, pretty much just like you can do now. The difference is you'll be able to choose categories and subcategories by hovering your mouse. No more waiting for a fresh page to load.
Overall, it's a bit more web 2.0-ish. Don't be surprised if you don't see the new site the next time you load Amazon.com. The new design is being rolled out slowly, and may not be available to all users right away.
