The current soon-to-be SNAFU'ed Home Page on DU is--er, that is soon-to-be WAS one of the best things on the Internet. It enabled the visitor to get a real overview of what's going on. I loved the Greatest, Latest, Videos, Journals and featured story at the top. From there, depending on time available and my current interest, I could easily dig in where I liked. It was not a hideous mess like at Huff Post, or a conundrum like Daily Kos.

Hear me whistling in the wind:

How about keeping the best home page on the web for what's going on in the world (of relevance to Us folks who have been using it as their daily first read). If it doesn't work well on iPhones and other mobile devices, then don't go there, start with "soapbox" or whatever.

OK and one more thing. "Soapbox" sounds like re-branding, very cutesy. Do we have to go there?

Plea for sympathy: Look, they just closed the friendly little natural foods store that I've been shopping at for 20 years. It's a big loss. I have to change my shopping habits. I'm already suffering. I want my HOME PAGE like it was.
