What do you do when you get an email from CNET, the new owners of Chowhound, asking you to come back?
First, you anxiously check the new site:
Hmmm... not bad, though the typeface is most definitely that of Chow Magazine. Interesting, since in fact, CNET also purchased the assets of Instant Comma, Inc., the publishers of Chow. Hmmm... which came first in THAT "chicken-or-egg" equation, I wonder?
The architecture isn't ideal, in my opinion, but I think it's actually pretty user friendly, and probably works for both the novice and more advanced users of the old site.
So, I went ahead and registered Gastronomie as a user name. I'll check things out, treading very lightly and very slowly as I explore the new and improved Chowhound.
