Chowhound gets another extreme makeover

new chowhoundIt's like a never ending food saga with Chowhound. First, Chowhounders worry about the purchase by the "big guy, CNet. Then when the extreme makeover on the antiquated site actually launches, they complain about the interface. Then Chowhound gets a little too Draconian with their post-moderating and sends some Chowhounders the way of K-Fed -- "ex."

The latest chapter in the Chowhound melodrama is that it has officially merged with its sibling site, Chow.com, and gone through a second makeover. Chowhounders are again, none too pleased. Occasional Chowhounder, EatingLA, short-lists a few pros and cons of the new layout, but a comment from LA Chowhounder Silverlake Bodhissatva seems to be the general feeling: "I haven't felt this bad about a piece of media since Whole Earth Quarterly went belly-up in the middle of my subscription."

Hey, I was just happy that they finally got rid of that pixelated logo of the dog.

It seems that the new site was rolled out without adequate notice and was quite buggy at first. The bugs are being fixed quickly and most of us have gone back to posting on "chowish" topics.

Not that I hate the Whopper, but surely Chowhound must have something original to create. But then again, Draconian licensing issues and all that... =p
