I switched to Yahoo as they were less intent on user tracking than Google and were comparable to Google on my own search tests and also technology independent and unbiased. On broadband I also prefer the search page with news.
MS can’t manage search on their own site never mind everyone elses.
Go to downloads.microsoft.com and search for windows installer, trying to find out what the latest version is. You get directX at the top.

I’m now switching back for search, but Yahoo still have the most reliable servers and so I’ll use them for everything I can, especially email.

[...] 5) One of the reasons I don’t spend more time on Yahoo’s home page is that it’s often been dominated by superfluffy items–such as breaking news about The Bachelorette–that leave me feel like I’m losing brain cells. The new home page lets you swap the fluffy feature story module up top with the somewhat-more-serious news block, which adds some gravitas. But I’m intrigued by an upcoming feature which will let you use a slider to select how fun or serious you want the items …. [...]

Somebody needs to tell Yahoo to set up s.yahoo.com or get something even shorter. There is a reason Bing is only a 4-letter word.

TC is influential because it has good content.
So you really read TC because of its good content.

You mistook my influential thing. I read same news in tc than in some other blog because it is most influential. So it should be ‘influential media’, i would care news headline of nyt and view/story of nyt, not that of yahoo news.

By the way they are #1 in
Mail
Sports
Finance
News
Gossips and celebrity
and having large share in IM business.

I believe your net surfing doesn’t mean only search to you. Its about content you are interested in and above are the content a normal people will be interested in.

i think whatever Yahoo does it doesn’t matter.They take way to long to redo somethings like their homepage,they get rid of things that they shouldn’t have, but i’ll say that have gotten rid of things they needed to.Yahoo is on the downward spiral and there isn’t any looking back for fame.
And as they sell their search engine to Microsoft,they will begin to slowly sell off the rest of the site,you’ll see. The problem with Yahoo and things like their search engine; they keep loosing the people that use their site.I still come to Yahoo for my email,My Yahoo page,sports and news(which we were told by Yahoo that in the near future we would be able to comment on news again, that was how many years ago.) Yahoo photos was taken away,great piece of Yahoo,now they have Flickr(can’t mass email all your friends at once yet,they have 360′ which they need to get rid of or merge with Flickr which i think would be the better idea.and well the list goes on and on.

Yahoo! is number 2nd in search and that too when its not a search company. Its a media company and a web portal from the start which is extending its businesses to search.

If you directly compare Google with Yahoo! then i believe it really makes no sense. Google is search for now and no one changing that monopoly in near future, but it will definitely loose share to Yahoo! and bing. Its ineviatable

I believe you really don’t know the figures. NYT site is way behind Yahoo! news in viewer ship. NYT just got their highest hit and broken their all time record hit thanks to Yahoo as they put their content on their Yahoo home page.

dre is big difference between portal and search page if u like google because it loads faster then use http://search.yahoo.com instead of http://yahoo.com and search for your content

or r u using http://www.yahoo.com for your search dumbo.

The Home Page change is pretty good. I think people will like it. But depends on how funny is the fun part and how serious is the serious part. Also, though it maybe a little interesting initially, people may lose interest in the long run…as after all everyone wants to read news that is in the air. Yes, what you call “influential” news.

With regard to Google changing the design, I swear they never will. It is one of the USPs and they would never be wooed by Bing’s or Yahoo’s strategy. Also, cool designs are not Google’s cup of tea.

Cool! Techcrunch could use the same slider idea!
