One of the features of the beta that hasn't been mentioned here too much is that the new site combines the contents of two "classic" sites. SiliconInvester is both the classic SI and the former StockSite.

StockSite used a flashy, almost "aggressive" design that was about as far removed as one could get from the design of SI. Here, for instance, is the classic StockSite's MarketMonitor: stocksite.com
And this is what it looks like now: beta.siliconinvestor.com

Here's the classic upgrades/downgrades page: stocksite.com
...and its current iteration: beta.siliconinvestor.com

Here's the classic "IPO Monitor": stocksite.com
...which now looks like this: beta.siliconinvestor.com

Here's Fleckenstein's column in the classic: stocksite.com
...and in its new makeup: beta.siliconinvestor.com

What's happening? All those pages have a consistent look that makes them instantly identifiable as SI pages. The pages have become simpler. The flash is gone, so that what is emphasized in all these examples (as it is on the message boards) is the information, which has, incidentally, been markedly improved in many cases.

And now for a wish list item: IQC has a fine collection of pages in its "education section" at iqc.com. I hope they get the SI look and are added to this site eventually.
