TheWB.com变身视频网站重装上阵
By: Kieran Hawe
The new TheWB.com relaunched today with the goal of being yet another online video destination. So what is my immediate reaction? It is no Hulu and the user-interface gives me a headache. The good news is that TheWB.com will combine full episodes of established content like Friends, Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars with original web programing. That level of content, especially when talking about a cult show like Friends, will drive significant traffic to the website. However, I feel when looking around the website, that they are confused at what they really want to be. The user-experience is a jumbled mess and seems to purposely go against the clean / ease of Hulu.
全新的TheWB.com今天重新发布，目标是成为另外一家在线视频平台。我的第一反应是什么？这不是Hulu，界面也让我头痛。好消息是TheWB.com将会提供完整的已经连载完的剧集的在线原版节目，比如《老友记》、《吉尔莫女孩》和《美眉校探》。这个级别的内容，尤其是一小撮人热衷谈论的像《老友记》那样的电影，将会给网站带去一笔客观的流量。不过，在网站转了一圈，他们真正想成为什么样的网站，这个问题让我感到困惑。用户体验如同深山密林那样是一团乱麻，和Hulu的清新简洁之风形成强烈反差。
I would love to give a more in-depth review of the website, including their video search and embeddable player functionality - both areas Hulu excels in. However, they aren’t rolling out all features just yet and the site seems to be crawling at a snails pace at the moment. I will do a follow-up post once they fix their site issues and all of their planned functionality are up and running.
我将很乐意写一篇网站的深度测评，包括他们的视频搜索和嵌入式播放器功能——这两个都是Hulu所擅长的。然而他们还没有放出全部功能，网站的改进就像蜗牛般步履蹒跚。如果哪一天他们修复了网站的所有问题，他们计划的功能都运行良好，我会写一篇新的帖子。
