Title: Yahoo unifies platform experience & tailors news feed
Post by: littleman on February 21, 2013, 07:32:10 PM
Yahoo redesigned its homepage so that it appears consistent with mobile, tablets and desktops.  Also, its using click logic to provide tailored news depending on one's behavior.  That bit there is an increase of the Internet news insulation bubble.

I still use them for some things.  I use their email, mostly because it isn't gmail.  I use their finance section too.  Sometimes they suck me in with their news items.

Same. But just articles linked from the finance page.  I've been using Bloomberg as a Y finance alternative for a few years now but I've never switched over to them fully.

Ditto on email, they ain't gmail so I use them, plus I like unlimited storage.

I still use the news pages for a quick overview.
