This site is awful

Yeah. It's a loss. We ought to have a funeral.

They still don't get it.

Looks as if they've fired the editors:

"The Hottest Trends Trends in Home Decor: Inside the Robert Allen Showroom" (uncorrected for almost a month)

"$7,000 PPSF? WHAT ARE PRICES IN SO HIGH FOR NYC LUX?"

NWT, I noticed that too. So unprofessional. What a mangled sentence!

Totally agree. How do you get access to the original version of StreetEasy? The original version was "easy" because it had all the information on one page. No scrolling around, trying to dig through the glossy graphics. I thought there was supposed to be a link to go back to the old version but I don't see it.

felix,
Is the old link not on the right side around 1/3 or half way down on the new website? I have been getting back to the old SE that way.

Once the old version is no longer accessible, I too will be outta here. :(

RIP, StreetEasy. It's been fun but our beloved SE has been Zillified; ie. F'ed.

I don't understand why they pay a fortune for something that works spectacularly only to change it in ways that add no value. Not a single comment I've read since the sale has been favorable. Not one. I know people tend to resist change, but when 100% of users voicing an opinion are of one mind, you would think that would mean something to the people running a company.

On the former site, at a glance I could assess a property. Now I feel I have to scroll and click all over. And the appearance is like K-Mart. It looks cheap. Like it was designed by old people for old people. Where are all the under 30 tech wizards at Zillow? At site for NYC RE should be sharp, current, fast -- like NYC. I just can't believe any exec would look at Zillow's new interface and say, "Yes, this is great." Especially when comparing it to what existed. It is, frankly, baffling.

Just use the old link, http://streeteasy.com/?lnf=old

New site is so weak.

Kylewest you must have missed this:

Zillow doesnt give a shit about what we all think. This site is not for us anymore.

Could even be worse than that - could be actively enjoying the spectacle of people flailing around helplessly, while they in control, will pull the pin whenever they choose!

Michael Smith needs to get a new tailor: his suit-sleeves are too long.

Both of the guys are wearing suits that look a size too big in the shoulders. Jackets are also about 2" too long. Why do most men settle for badly fitting suits? I've never understood it.

I agree with Miller in the article linked to above: “I think they are leaving acquired technology on the table.”

kyle: I knew you would agree. I've never understood it either, especially men with money for good suits and a good tailor.

that real deal article is really sad. I don't know why they sold

Why? It wasn't to buy a nicer, better-fitting suit.

This reminds me of when Gawker bought Cityfile; it was strictly an eliminate the competition thing, and after buying it they shuttered what was otherwise a very fun (and again local to NYC) site, almost to the point that it was just bought so it could be destroyed...very sad, and what I expect will soon happen here as well...

I certainly don't understand it but I suspect you're right. At the very least, they want to go in a completely different direction but, again, I don't understand.

I downloaded the new Ap and it is actually quite good. Very easy to find useful information. A step closer actually to the old web site. Obvioulsy though, it would have been under development long before the sale.
