Yahoo is retooling its homepage



Soon enough, depending on when they will introduce the new homepage to the Philippines, we will see a major revamp in Yahoo.com's homepage. This comes after several other online hangouts increased its popularity in the Internet. Though outshone by many other websites, its homepage is still one of the busiest. According to comScore Inc's recent research, more than 570 million people worldwide came to Yahoo in May alone.


United Kingdom, India and France will see the retooled homepage later this week while the rest of the world will take as long as next year. Like in Yahoo's mail service, the users will have the option of retaining the old design. It is the biggest change change since the site was launched 15 years ago and the redesign came three years after they changed their homepage in 2006.

Yahoo wants to claim back its fame as a gateway for people surfing the web. They also said that the new homepage will make it easier for people with information and services available anywhere in cyberspace. The new homepage sports a variety of applications from other websites which includes e-mails services and plug-ins for Facebook and MySpace. Users can get a glimpse of other sites without leaving Yahoo.
