Comments on: Yahoo puts meat on Open Strategy bones

After months of teasers, the Internet pioneer begins injecting a social element to Yahoo Mail, My Yahoo, and other sites. Will the money follow?

Over the weekend, I setup one of my computers in the living room (its a test machine for beta products), when I went to the Yahoo! home page on it, I got that new Yahoo! prototype with a different look and rich graphics you had the applications panel, the interface was cleaner and more organized. You can quickly access things like Mail, Horoscopes and other activities. I notice when I come on my computer here in my room (running Windows 7), launch Firefox and go to the Yahoo Home Page, I don't the new Yahoo! I even signed into on the computer in the living room. It had a different URL m.www.yahoo.com something like that.

The Yahoo! test page depends on a cookie placed on the computer you originally saw it on, doesn't matter if you are logged in to the same Yahoo! ID or not. I have the same issue where I see the new test page on my laptop, but not on my desktop or when I access Yahoo! from work.

[Mr. Dee]

Thanks Mark. :)

I saw the beta page one day and the next it's gone. DO you know how to get it. Thanks. I like t beta test products, like to know what's coming. Thank you.

Yahoo missed the mark years ago. Instead of talking about releasing new products amidst layoffs, they should have rolled these out while they had some interest.

Their whole secretive approach is a joke too. I don't know how long I have read about the new Yahoo home page, only to never see a peep of it in the last year.

Great idea, leverage your existing user base. Can't wait... finally on the right path.

I'm glad to hear of some progress on this, but it may already be too late. I've been using Yahoo for a long time, but after I heard of the layoffs, it was the last straw and I've moved to Gmail and am exploring Googles other services. I just don't believe anymore that Yahoo is going to be around long term and don't want to be caught there when the lights go out for the last time.
