Travel and News – UI Trends


The CNN beta site exemplifies a trend of pairing down content for a simpler interface. Video is front and center on story detail pages.

Vayama is the new international specific travel booking site. Nice feature to configure flights visually through a map view.

Orbitz releases a desktop app (Insider Deals) featuring special deals and tracking tools.

    Vayama’s UI took them a couple years to get it right (it was too slow and confusing). I’ve put a lot of thought into the UI for iGuide, including being influenced by CNN. UIs are always a compromise.
