Thanks for drawing attention to the new CDC website. I don’t think I would have noticed all the ways the CDC is willing to connect.

As someone who wants to help governments and other public agencies embrace web 2.0, I think the CDC is ahead of it’s time.

I’m especially impressed with the CDC Second Life island! That’s so awesome.

I have got to say that the home page still looks the same to me, though I like it. It is visually appealing. I like the way the info is “chunked;” makes it easier to identify.

It does look like a number of the topics specific pages are re-designed. More white space, chunking of info.

I do like the tag cloud.

Thanks for sharing this, Alex
