    I do with all my heart. If they go ahead and force it down surfers' throats - I could virtually gurantee they will lose home page traffic. I mean I'll switch to google for sure. What about you?

    Looks good to me.

    It's clean and you don't need to scroll much.

    I pretty much hate every new home page they launch--and then I use it for two days and forget that it was new anyway. I doubt they lose any noticable traffic because of it.

    It is a much needed update. And it looks really clean and modern.

    I like it, but I prefer the old one. It's not gonna make me say "F-YAHOO" though.

    I agree, it is a much needed update. I personally like it much better then the old homepage. However I must say that I usually always use Google.

    Well it did cause more people to visit them and it did increase their page views. Many people seem to like it, and they are going with the flow of technology otherwise it won't look as sophisticated. In terms of organization they must work on it. In time we will al grow used to their new look. But as soon as they did MSN.com also got the urge to change their look.

    I hate it. It's a bad idea, if I have to learn a new homepage I might as well switch to google.

    If it aint broke, don't fix it. I never loved Yahoos old Format, but that was in like 1998, now im very used to it and the colors are more appealing with the same layout

    this new change flip everything on its head, bad idea!

    Well, finally they've made it work with the nightly builds of Firefox. Previously, I could only see a picture and it said I don't have IE or Firefox.

    Yahoo's home page looks great; if you like a webpage where it looks like the content was barfed out after a night of binge-drinking. Its awesome.

    And it looks nothing like MSNs homepage, which is even better! :rolleyes:

    Haha. Yahoo should learn that people like simple.. google, craigslist, etc. I think with this new page they will lose more search market share.

    I think there's some ignorant person in the higher ups pushing for this change and he's total dodo.
