Comments on: Yahoo testing livelier, more open home page

The online pioneer looks to reclaim some leading-edge Internet mojo with a redesign of its home page that a small fraction of users now will begin seeing.

ahhh...where is the link for the mail! 50 % of the people still go to yahoo for the mail and they still didn't create the link!!!!! Some people never learn!!!!

Open thine eyes and thee shall see!

Dalmation28, are you blind?
The mail link is on the left, second one down, just under "My Aplications", it is a big blue button 1/5 the width of the page.

By the way, yahoo had a link to email on thier old home page as well, but then you're blind, get some glasses and you will see a bunch of stuff there you probably missed.

LOL. Dalmatian IS either blind or looking for a reason to hate it. It doesn't look bad. I'd try it. It's way better than the new FB. I think the feature to check several emails from this page is stellar. It would be great to have links to MS and FB accessible just like Gmail will be. A one-stop shop for all my 'I really don't feel like working' needs.

They should allow more beta testing. I went beta with the new Yahoo mail page long ago and liked it...I want to try this now too.

I think any redesign of a popular destination takes some time to get used to. The new FB annoyed me to a new degree but recently I've gotten in to customizing it and now I actually like it better. It sounds like you can do the same with the new Yahoo home page, so I'd be willing to give it a go. And to be fair, I was looking for mail on the right side of the screen, where it is now, so I didn't notice it on the left either.

Sorry guys, you are right! When I am wrong...I am wrong! I can't believe I missed it and ironically I have 20/20. It was written on my brake so...didn't have time to look at it more carefully. Thank you for correcting me!

I'm confused, if the start page knows that its me, why have a my.yahoo page? I don't want to log in twice, and if i'm on a different computer do I get their email and IMs? I mostly use yahoo at work and don't really want all my info on the start page. plus what the #### do I want a whole column of space taken up by my email? I have one account that I access via yahoo, I don't want my other accounts aggregated, and I don't use IM or flicker or other photo feeds. wasted space. wasted design effort. I have a customized page, Its called my.yahoo.

its completely customizable. you don't need to have any of those web links there if you don't want them. you will only have to log in once. the column of email that takes up the page is only when you hover over the mail icon. normally, its just the bar, like shown in the first picture. why are you bashing this? its genius and will make the website 1000x better.

You think they'll kill My Yahoo? Or do you think they should merge? Or should they keep both. I never really use My Yahoo with iGoogle around.
