Humbly disagree, B.A., regarding your premise that SI needs a redesign. Compared to any other board out there, I find SI to be the fastest, cleanest, and easiest to navigate - not to mention the fact that it is the only searchable one. No sense in even trying to compare the content. In my mind, SI wins that contest hands down, of course. Add features? Sure. Been happening since day one, and surely will continue. Cheers, Svejk proofsheet.com

What better example of Henry Dreyfuss'axiom "fitting machines to people" exists on the Internet than Go2Net's Personal Page? I think GNET is leading in terms of the amount of readily accessible, ergonomic data it can put on a user's personal page, without that person having to access the data through a series of links. A good example is the personalized stock quote table on the personal page. And I like the multi-search capability of the MetaCrawler search engine. Once GNET has me on their personal page, though, the rest of their potent arsenal is only a click away. Does SI need a redesign? Perhaps; recall that John Deere's first styling in 1938 was followed by major restyles in 1952, 1956, 1960, 1972, etc. Henry Dreyfuss was so good at design and redesign, that restyles were essentially an automatic boost to John Deere's business!
