Yahoo Introducing New Hoempage With News Feeds And Social Integration
Yahoo appears to be rolling out the newest version of the redesign of its homepage even more extensively across several major browsers, including Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.
Marissa Mayer CEO of Yahoo announced the revamped site in a blog post published Wednesday, writing that the landing page is “designed to be more intuitive and personal.” The new homepage has news-feed with infinite scroll, you can easily customize your news-feed to your interest. You can log in with your Yahoo! or Facebook ID to get articles from thousands of news sources as well as those shared by your friends.
Today’s announcement comes more than two months after Yahoo unveiled revamped email clients on both the web and mobile apps, marking another major change under Mayer’s leadership. Mayer was named CEO last summer after spending years at Google, where she was widely credited with streamlining the company’s homepage. The exec says she adopted a similar approach to Yahoo’s page, telling the New York Times that she wanted the site to be “fresh and dynamic” with an “element of surprise and serendipity.”
She added that today’s unveil is just the “first of many releases,” though it may be the most visible. “We’re introducing a new way to welcome people to Yahoo,” Mayer said.
