I was always a big fan of the one-page idea on VB and liked the fact I could load it up once and just read through it like a newspaper. Perhaps in the future you can consider some sort of personalized settings both in terms of what sections get displayed and how they are displayed.

Great content. Love the site.

I love this new design – it's incredibly hard to make a blog look this clean and simple. Congrats Matt and team!

Looks pretty nice! I like the minimal feel to it. Compared to a site like TechCrunch (which is crazy busy), this is nice and calm.

Do like the redesign. I loved not having to click through, but this does make sense for the growing beats and the business. Good stuff overall though, very clean.

I don't care about not having enough to read. I'm just happy it loads faster. Funny cause anytime I'm on here I distract myself by looking at the status bar.

For non geeks like myself would you guys explain how you had the load problems and how you were able to solve it.

I never had a problem, but again it just might be my internet connection. I loved complete posts on the front page.

ah – a fresh design – much better (and faster it seems) — pay attention to the jump points though —

and when's the iPhone (or Android or Palm) venturebeat reader coming? a la NYT reader – clean design, text-full on loading etc etc….

I preferred the old design. All the content on one page reduced clicking. But it does load faster now. Less convenient tho

Have to agree with previous posters – the snippets are too short now.

About bloody time! This site has loaded like a snail for years. Besides kudos to Nclud for design and implementation, got to say thanks too to Martin Goldman, who helped with server stuff. We'll have more to say about that experience later, once we monitor stuff.
