OREANDA-NEWS. July 19, 2010. Rambler has released a new beta-version of one of its key products – Rambler News. This is one the first large launches in the series of services renovations planned by the company.

Rambler News was designed by the team of Art. Lebedev Studio. The renewed News portal provides the users with a fresh, convenient and clear interface with a principally new homepage which allows to quickly scroll through the ‘picture’ of the headlines in Russia and the rest of the world with separate pages dedicated to photo and video materials for each topic.

The new project features an expanded and visually more straight-forward navigation – now it has 12 main sections each one of which features subject sub-sections. For those who fell out of touch with the current events there is a dedicated Popular News page – for example coming back from a holiday a user can in one click see a list of the most popular and frequently discussed news for the last week. The functionality of the project was expanded as well. Each topic now allows users to leave their comments and view the comments of others.

Also the News offers a special line of topics automatically selected for the user’s city across more than 80 regions of Russia. As well as allowing the user to also view the news for any other region from the list or reset their default ‘home’ region.
