Online Awesome

CNN.com

Most impressive is the sheer amount of video on the site. Most stories have video, and a lot of them have written articles as well. Little icons next to the headlines tell you what kind of media the story is in.
Also, about three good scrolls get you to the bottom of most pages, rather than having enormously long pages.
The site is dated and timed for when it's updated, which lets readers know how current it is.
I'm especially impressed with the categories and how you can click on one if you want to see all stories from that category.
For those interested in the stock market, there's a constantly updated market ticker.
There are also nice features such as searching the site and typing in your zip code for weather information.
Readers can also enjoy podcasts and getting notifications in their email.
