"Yahoo has today announced\u00A0a new version of its homepage that it says is &amp;quot;designed to be more intuitive and personal.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe centerpiece of the new design is a\u00A0news feed with infinite scroll, which you can personalize by logging in with your Yahoo or Facebook account. As well as allowing you to specify topics of interest to display, the new site will show news shared by your friends. You can share content on the page via\u00A0e-mail, Twitter or Facebook.\r\n\r\nCompared the previous layout, there has been a clear effort to reduce clutter, and fewer Yahoo properties are given prominence. With responsive design, the page adjusts accordingly to desktop, phone and tablet screen sizes.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSpeaking to the New York Times, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer says that she wanted to make the homepage\u00A0\u201Cfresh and dynamic and add an element of surprise and serendipity.\u201D The redesign follows new looks\u00A0for Yahoo Mail\u00A0and Flickr (particularly\u00A0its mobile presence), both introduced\u00A0since Mayer became CEO\u00A0following a high-profile career at Google,\u00A0in July last year.\r\n\r\nMayer has dived into transforming Yahoo into a modern Internet company with aplomb. In addition to freshening up the look and feel of its properties, the company has started to acquire mobile-focused businesses;\u00A0Stamped in October 2012\u00A0and then\u00A0location recommendation company Alike. Indeed, Mayer said late last year that Yahoo would become &amp;quot;predominantly a mobile company.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nYahoo says that the new homepage design will roll out to its US users over the next few days.
