New Yahoo! in beta

Yahoo! has made available a “beta” version of a proposed new home page. The main improvement I see is their reorganization of their various web properties (News, Sports, People Search, Personals, etc.) into a simple alphabetical list:

Previously, these were grouped into blurry categories like “Connect, Organize, Fun…” Other changes include a general visual design refresh of the icons and module wrappers, and a demotion of the Directory.

  1. It’s about time the designers were able to push through the alphabetized list of properties. Someone over there was stuck on those categories, and as a result, the researchers embarked on a tireless round of eye-tracking studies that examined the difference between comma-, dot-, and dash-separated lists of properties.
