New Yahoo front page design
New Yahoo Frontpage - news.cnet.com
Yahoo has decided to redesign their home page, Yahoo.com which is one of the most traveled destinations on the internet.
On this afternoon, people from the United States can start selecting a more personalized version of the Yahoo.com home page. “Visitors will be able to use basic applications from other websites not just Yahoo sites, such as eBay, Facebook and Twitter”, said Tapan Bhat, Yahoo’s senior vice president for consumer experiences. The change will arrive in the U.K., France, and India later this week, in Spain and Mexico next month, and in Asia next year.
On the left side of the new Yahoo design there will be a tab called My Favourites. When navigating there you will see all the applications available to you. Hovering over them will make each application and its accompanying advertising pop up. “There are about 60 applications available now, and more are being added daily”, Bhat said.
“Also coming in August will be the ability to select what type of news people can see, with a slider that moves on a spectrum between “fun” and “serious”,” he said.
“We’re pulling together everything about the user they care about, be it on Yahoo or off, to create a personally relevant experience,” Bhat said. “In a world like this, Yahoo needs to make the user experience come first.”
This could be Yahoo’s last grasp at staying along side the internet leaders and could actually put them ahead.
