I like the shade of blue. The site has a lot of the information I want, and reasonable information I wouldn’t have thought of including.
Now for the complaints....
“Read our blog” is too similar to the background. If you’re going to have an RSS icon, clicking on it should give access to an RSS feed. Just plain “Blog” is probably better. I’d sooner see it on the top bar.
These days, top bar topics tend to have drop down menus, and I think they make finding out what’s on a site more convenient.
Media page: Do not put text across people’s faces.
It would be nice to have all the singularity summit videos available, with listings for speakers and topics.
I don’t know whether I’m typical in this, but I’m not fond of images that change automaically (like at the top of the videos page). I find that they offer a lot of distraction for little information.
“Logistics” is a vague name for a conference announcement. How about “Calendar”?
Should “research in human rationality” include something about using rationality to improve one’s life?
I’m uncertain about the big icons on the get-involved and about pages. For me they have a slight vibe of “we don’t trust people to pay attention to the text”, but for all I know, that’s reasonable. What’s your line of thought?
“Reviewing and Proof-reading SI publications” should have a link to the publications.
“Assist wuth publicly listed challenge grants” should have a link to where they’re listed.
