MSN is a popular website that is not only a search engine [as highlighted in green], a popular news engine [as seen in the orange section], but is also a social networking website in that it allows you to use msn messenger and hotmail to email other people.

I like the design of MSN's homepage as its very busy and there's alot of interesting features going on that catch your eye instantly as you visit the site. The design uses images to illustrate text as alot of people are instantly attracted to image rather than text. People use the internet alot of the time for entertainment purposes and an escape from their busy lifestyles [as they do with TV], I feel MSN's design is a good example of clever design as it caters to everyone.
