New Yahoo Homepage Goes Live
25 Comments
Calling it the most significant redesign since the portal's launch in 1994, Yahoo has put live its new homepage that incorporates AJAX and DHTML technologies. Unlike the new Netscape.com, Yahoo has kept much of its content the same, but the site now has simplified navigation and personalization features.
One new area of the site is called Yahoo! Pulse, which spotlights hot content on the Web. Yahoo has been beta testing the revamped homepage since February, and it put live a public preview in May. To help promote the new site, Yahoo has launched a homemade video contest. The best videos will be run across Yahoo's advertising network.
