O.P. Yahoo! has had a tidy of his room
Yahoo! is hopping onto the modern & simplicity bandwagon. They have launched 'alpha (beta)' of all names as the new Yahoo! search engine, and it's currently cleaner than Google. Check it out!

The thing I like about this is it breaks the corporation stubbornness, i.e. only integrating Yahoo! services. Instead it uses Wikipedia and YouTube, a Google product, and by doing that Yahoo! have gained +1 in my books. It pisses me off when Microsoft don't allow Apple's AAC files to be played in Windows Media Player (just an example) :P.

Bleh, too much AJAX / look-how-trendy-we-are-with-our-colors-and-fontsize... and most important... slow.

I'm really impressed with Yahoo! recently, they are making their products so much more user friendly. 2007 looks like a good year for Yahoo! they are improving existing products rather than releasing new ones, unlike other big software companies :P.
