You already occupy a place on my iGoogle page, so I definitely like the site.

My suggestion: VentureBeat podcasts.

Long in depth interviews with entrepreneurs and investors. No one has filled the gap that VentureVoice left in my iPod. Text is okay, but it's not nearly as good for interviews.

Another vote for podcasts! I love your articles and I'm confident you could easily create superb podcasts as well!

Please let us know where we can improve (and what we're already doing well). Feel free to leave comments here, or take the survey linked to, above.

I'd go for a layout re-design. There's simply too much unrelated content on each page. Instead, have a layout that focuses on your daily posts - the heart of venturebeat!

More specifically, reduce the number of columns of content. With four columns it's almost impossible to scan for interesting stories.
