Yahoo Buzz Launches: Popular Stories To Go On Yahoo Homepage [View article]
Lets see, Yahoo’s new approaches that are screwed up (but at least they look cool):
TV - Unusable format -quadruples the clicks to get data if you can get it at all News message boards - Doesn’t exist anymore News - Outdated or non-timely information, some haven’t been updated for weeks Stock message boards - Rampant with spam & trolls Stock symbols lookup - Works some of the time Groups - Spam & porno Yahoo mail - Many things I just don’t need but at least now it’s sloooow and rampant with spam Yahoo sport - Terrible format & dated information
My Yahoo Beta - Now an unusable format. I will be gone once it comes out of Beta and is forced on us
and now Buzz…
In the American tradition of form over function… and change for change sake, thank god for Goggle or we’d really be progressing to the stone age. As a systems engineer myself, I know the first lesson of version changes is to not lose user functionality.
From an original YAHOO user with 80% of my time on the web spent at their site, I’m now down to <30% ans with the new Buzz format it will be less. By mid-year I will have completely migrated to Google. I can't believe their doing what your doing.
