New Yahoo! Homepage

The new Yahoo! homepage looks awesome.

http://m.www.yahoo.com/. Its pretty nice how they have set up all of Y!'s great features in one page. Access to Y! Mail, Gmail, Facebook are available by just moving the cursor over their logos on the left side of the page. I personally also get sports, weather and finance, which are always pretty accurate.

But thats as customizable as it gets really. You can set a color of the background, which is pretty faint but can give some personality to the page. Its not like My Yahoo! in which you can do tons and tons of customization. If you can choose some of the widgets in the main space of the page, it would be a total success.

The news feed is nice. Right in the center, it gives all the news. but there's no clicking to view the news, you can just move the cursor over each story. Win.

Y!'s attempt at making a Facebook like "Status" feature kinda is Fail to me. There is no timeline to see your other friends, which Ive tried to make but the system is impossible. So why would you make a status when it takes going to other user's profiles to see theirs? If they could create a small pop out timeline that is kinda of like Facebook, its a huge win.

Lastly, the most popluar searches. Nothing I really look at. But it could be nice if you are trying to search for a major story and its right there in thata box. Nice, but nothing Id use.

Trying to find a great game to review. mk
