RSSNew Yahoo Homepage Goes Live
By the Betanews Staff | Published July 17, 2006, 3:51 PM
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.
Just use My Yahoo and make your page the way you want

|Let me put it like this. Yahoo moved some stuff around and threw in AJAX and DHTML. IT'S STILL TOO CLUTTERED!!!!!
Not only that but they are advertising Services that aren't even worth using. Really it makes no difference what they do to the site, until they fix that clutter I refuse to use their Engine. Or their Email (Spam in the Inbox and non spam in the Bulk, how do you explain that one? I mean Addresses in my Address Book going to my Bulk Folder) Then throw in the Completely Messy and useless Messenger they have and it's even worse. More of a reason to use Windows Live Messenger now. :D

|OT: You have to admit it's pretty funny... you put a neat acronym around old technologies, and it's suddenly the craze... I have to say, I am getting a laugh out of Yahoo promoting AJAX and DHTML usage on their site... how long have we been using these technologies now? ;-)
Overall, the new yahoo.com is not too hard on the eyes at least.

|Hmmmm... I guess yahoo and ms keep working together in other areas besides their IM apps. For me, this is more like a "themed" version of msn.com! lol

|Actually, not much difference between old and new design. Netscape redesign is more radical.

|So, that was the reason that caused yahoo to crash all this night? What do they promote if it at the same URL?

|Neater and better arranged but sorry that theme is a decade old. Has anyone ever used BeOS? Most BeOS sites were laid out with the same easy to see icons.
One step in the right direction though. It feels like it is getting back to the basics some sites had in the mid-90's, less clutter, fun to watch and easy to navigate.
And the wheel goes round :)

|Back to basics?
There was a site, a search engine, I believe, who went back to simple layouts and non-flashy gimmiks quite some time ago.
Can't quite recollect the name though.
I know, I'll just Google it. ;)

|Much better than the old page.

|Agreed. A lot less clutter.
Not that I ever use the Yahoo home page, nor do I intend to start now. Still, it's kinda cool. ...I guess.

|In the same way watchig someone skateboard down a rail only to lose the board and on the rail crotch-first.
We call it morbid curiosity.
It's the very same reason I will follow my CEO, and configure certain things as he requets until the day the company goes under... Pure, unadulterated morbid curiosity.

|Improved, but not enough to ever get me to use it.
The old yahoo page was a mess, I don't know how anyone could stand to use it.

|As much as I like Google I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.
