When I visit a landing page, I want to know quickly what it's about. There is some excess wording - How about changing "Are you like me and..." to "Do you..."

I don't know that I'd use this, but I could see the usefulness if I looked at a few more news sources on a regular basis. If I used this, I would want the source links on the left to do something different. When I click on "WCBS-TV", I want the results on the right to filter so that I only see the news items on WCBS. I don't want to see a whole list of items from the sources you have selected.
To clarify, replace the source links on the left with a checklist. I can check three sources, and the feed only contains items from those sources. Now this becomes my news feed for NY instead of me looking at your news feed for NY.
- japhyr 15y agoLanding page - shorter "Do you" lead ins will let you increase font size, making it easier to see what the site does instantly. Replace the text links with buttons - if you have made the newsqast concept clear in the lead ins, you don't need to say what the locale links do. Just make a grid of buttons with large text - Austin Chicago New York. As a visitor, I can see what clicking on the NY button will do. The last button could be "request a market near you". That would let you build a potential user list as well. Right now, the biggest link is the google chrome link. Your locales should be that big, and that appealing to click on. Last, I like the sketch idea. Just simplify it a little. Just keep the (news weather traffic)->(newsqast)->(web mobile twitter)->(happy user) parts, and give them more breathing room. Good luck!
