TheStreet.com unveils redesign

Barry Ritholtz writes about the redesign of TheStreet.com unveiled this weekend.

Ritholtz wrote, “It looks to be a modest improvement over the sprawling mess of the old site. It will take me a few days to figure out if it is very much of an improvement.

“Both TheStreet.com‘s original content and Seeking Alpha‘s aggregation have overwhelmed me with an immense amount of content.

Rather, what I end up doing is reading specific writers (Kass, Helene, Shark, etc.).
