Well I guess it’s finally hit me. Yahoo’s new design on the front page is showing up live on my interweb. My father sent me some screen captures from his computer at work several weeks ago and I thought it was ’so so’ then and today seeing it live I feel the same.

What don’t I like about it? Well first off I don’t like change unless it comes to menu items and women. (Just kidding honey!) Secondly, it seems to have lost that Yahoo feel. I miss the simple but very ‘yahooish’ buttons uptop that I’ve grown used to seeing over the past decade. Moving the menu to the left is fine I guess. Give me a few months and I might like this new setup.

Oh one other thing that irked me was that they moved where the news box was and replaced that section with ads. I know that’s a little thing but one of the reasons I like yahoo other than for search and email is I usually take a quick peek at their news box daily. Now I have to drag my lazy eyes over to the middle of the page. Boooooooooooooo.

If you’re not seeing this yet here’s a thumbnail (click for the big version) of the new design on yahoo. Enjoy…or not.
