CNN redesign goes up to 11 ...
Tooling around with some background images used in the new CNN redesign - which is lovely - I noticed that they've upped their basic screen width to 990px.
This is reasonably significant ... their user base is broad and the range of screen resolutions that they would have to cater for, you would think, would be equally broad.
What they're saying here is that smaller resolutions now make up an insignificant enough percentage of their readership to justify the new width (it's a fixed width site). So, we're slowly edging up ... I know that woot redesigned to 1024 earlier in the year, but I think that with CNN we're really seeing the main streaming of wider sites.
Interested to see how the new site looks on the iPhone.
