Yahoo Tries Something Old, Launches New Home Page

Jul 21, 2009 - 8:36 am 15 by

I cannot tell you how many times I have reported that Yahoo has released a new home page in the almost 6 years of me covering search. I honestly cannot count the times I reported on this topic. From numerous times they tested various home page designs, to the times they released the new design, to the times they rolled back those designs. To me, this news is a big snore, but what is a blogger to do?

Right now, it is pretty hot on Techmeme and since we covered this type of news an infinite number of times, I figured, I'd let you read the news via Techmeme. What I really want to hear from Yahoo is Microsoft buying them. :)

Here are screen shots of the new home page, which you should see on Yahoo.com later today.

And how search may be integrated into the new design:
