I hate change but, at first glance, I like the change at The Globe website.

They've taken the opposite approach from the Herald, which has an arbitrary and inconsistent tree structure that encourages meaningless page-loads and doesn't reflect the experience of a print reader.

I'm sure there are business reasons for each paper's site design. But more fundamentally, I suppose it comes down to whether you think the web is the future, the way to attract new customers, which The Globe seems to have decided, or just a a free but imperfect extra to the print edition, like the Herald site.
