RSSYahoo Previews New Homepage
By the Betanews Staff | Published May 16, 2006, 2:25 PM
Yahoo on Monday put live a preview version of its upcoming new homepage design, which boasts simplified navigation and personalization features. While largely a cosmetic update, Yahoo has incorporated AJAX and DHTML technologies, as well as a new Yahoo! Pulse feature highlighting hot content.
Yahoo has been testing the new page since February, and it currently works with IE and Firefox. "The new home page reflects Yahoo!'s unique position at the intersection of people, media, and knowledge. It presents better access to information and the stuff of our lives, and more individual choice about the appearance of the page," said Yahoo developer Havi Hoffman.
So much for Y! and MS "teaming up". Doesn't work in IE7 at all. Warns you to get IE6 or go to the current public site. New wheels for an old car. Sucks.

"Thank you for you interest in Yahoo's sneak peek, unfortunately you're using a browser we don't support today!
Damm you IE7....lol.

|-sigh-. Damnit, its new! Its not IE7, Yahoo hasn't adopted IE7 yet.
You are putting the cart before the horse..
IE7 is STILL in beta, I know you are just illustrating your frustration about how you want to use IE7, but others may start bashing IE7.. but its not IE7's fault.. give it time..

|give it time..
...about 6 years should do it.

|lol.
I wasn't bashing. I completely understand why IE7 isn't compatible yet.
IT'S A BETA!
Hmmmmmm....wonder if I can install autocad 2000 on Vista? Should work...right? :)

|They're BOTH in BETA. So what? Isn't that the point? Why go through the motions to develop something that won't work on what the predominant browser is moving to when you're done? Stupid. I don't develop that way. I watch all the aspects of what my apps will interact with and TEST TEST TEST to make sure it works. Ignoring it is dumb.

|Nope. Neither will Acad 2007 though.

|Not gonna bother going back. They block Opera for no apparent reason, as by identifying as IE, the page renders fine.
Score: 0
|They support Mozilla Firefox, but block SeaMonkey, which makes absolutely no sense
whatsoever. SeaMonkey is not currently in alpha or beta, and it uses the exact same
rendering engine as Mozilla Firefox (Gecko) yet it gets needlessly blocked.
To all intents and purposes, under the hood, Ffx and SM are exactly the same!

|Absolutely beautiful. The interface and navigation now is very clear and allows Yahoo! to properly promote their services rather than adding bland links to a longwinded link list.
I'm also extremely thrilled to see Yahoo! leading the way with rolling out their homepage with AJAX. AJAX is where the Internet is moving to and it's only a matter of time before this becomes standard practice in all portal sites and search engines.

|I see what they are trying to achieve with the cleaner interface, but I don't think it's working. The new page is too white and bland so it seems as if all of the text carries the same weight; this is visually confusing to the eye. The pastel colors of the old Yahoo pages, although a bit fruity at times, served a distinct purpose: it broke up the monotony of all of that text info and complimented the graphic inserts.
I'm sticking with the old style.

|You take Google, and you add common sense and reason. You make it something useful, and you don't sue anyone over every little thing..
Then you get . . . Yahoo.

|Accually, I bet Google and Yahoo are close in the amount of users.
Not to mention, Yahoo has more services, more stuff, better looking search page, etc. AND MORE USEFUL MAIL SERVICE. I hate gmail.

|Personally, I don't see much change.
Did the main page change?

|I was wondering what was up. I went to yahoo the other day and that site came up and then it was back to normal. Hate it btw. Like the old one.

|this wouldn't affect the page anyway, they don't mess with the production stuff, they have a "test" page, and once its complete, they switch the URL, but that's not why it was up and down.. I didn't notice it even went down, I think your ISP was messed up..
