Yahoo released its quarterly financials and a spanking new portal page (www.yahoo.com) to go with it, as an offering of sorts to investors who were disappointed with the financials. Well – it’s something, I guess.
I just can’t get worked up about portal pages, I don’t care if it’s Comcast (my ISP), MSN, Yahoo, or whoever. I do have a Yahoo ID, (bobwyzguy) which is a relic from an job long lost where we used Yahoo IM to keep in touch with each other. I have 7 home pages set up in IE7 (sorry, just don’t like Firefox). I know where I want to go and just go there. If its important for today I leave it in a tab. Important for a while it goes to Favorites.
But you might just want to check it out if:
- You are using Yahoo for your email.
- You already have Yahoo set as your home page.
- Things are slow at the office, and you have time to burn.
Otherwise you probably can live without this improvement.
