Better but...
The previous interface was really bad and annoying -one of the worst I have seen -but you didn't ask for feedback.
This one is better, but still it suffers from the information-burring-syndrome as most blogs, where very interesting and valuable info quickly disappears after a very short time.
Even more, you made the mistake to remove the "Active SmartPlanet" column, so very interesting and very active discussions are suddenly shut-down and buried without a warning, in favor of new -news or articles. You didn't give priority to your viewers, you think you're smarter than them, inline with you slogan "we make you smarter" like saying "I know what you should be reading and talking about, for your own good " -which is/was stupid, insulting and far from being true.
If you were producing new technology or science, that might be acceptable -but you're just telling stories about those who do innovative stuff, to those who can evaluate them.
