The Verge redesigns homepage to serve two kinds of readers at once

The Verge has split its homepage into two columns: one with editor-picked stories and topic collections, the other a live feed of the latest articles in posting order. The redesign recognizes that readers want different things—some look for editorial guidance on what matters, others want to see what just published. Analysis: Rather than forcing readers into a single browsing style, the layout lets both modes coexist, a departure from the traditional single-feed homepage model most sites have long used.
