The New Boston.com

OK, so there's a new Boston.com. To me it looks flatter and more crowded, and it's harder to find stuff (though that will probably go away as I get used to it). Here's part of what they say:

The result will be a new Boston.com that is easier, fresher, and more useful than ever before. Among the changes that you will notice beginning today on the home page, article pages, and soon throughout the site:
* Our pages are wider, less cluttered, and designed with more breathing room.
* The type is easier to read, and directions around the site are more straightforward.

Anyone know what kind of user feedback they used to guide the new site?
