CNN Beta Site
Written by on June 14th, 2007 in Ajax News.
CNN has a new beta site that plays with Prototype and Script.aculo.us for some simple clean effects and inline Ajax.
The site also uses a StorageManager to access local storage using IE-specific, DOM storage, or cookies. This way your personalization is stored away.
If you put it side by side the current site, you will find that it looks a lot cleaner (at least it does to me).
