    Making Friends on Kotaku

    Perhaps you noticed, perhaps you read it in last night's day note, either way I'm sure you've come to discover that Kotaku has a slightly new look.

    The biggest difference is that spiffy new image dealio we have up at the top of the page, though our designers have also made a number of other slight adjustments. Let me break it down for you:

    The scrolling thumbnails at the top of the page show our most recent and biggest stories. You can click on the arrows on either side to move through them and then click on the image to jump to the story.

    Once a day an automated Stat Feed pops up which automatically lists the most popular headlines and how many views they received that day.

    Once signed in, you can now track friends by simply clicking on a commenter's name and clicking follow commenter. You can also click on the Follower's link to find out who is tracking you. Despite what your personal page may say, you have friends.

    While not new, it's a little known fact that you can add comments to your RSS feed, as well as track specific categories.

    There's now a drop down box that lets you easily email, digg, facebook or clip a story. Clipping a story adds it to your profile so you can easily find it on your personal page.

    And that's about it. The site is still the same width on the front page, though wider on the jump pages, but it looks narrower to me because the top of the page no longer stretches all of the way across, if that makes sense.

    Now go out there, clip articles and make friends.
