Meet the New Yahoo, Same as the Old Yahoo

May 15, 2006

A look at the new Yahoo, which, according to ABC News we won't begin to see regularly for a few Months, makes me wonder aloud: if they wouldn't have said anything, would anyone have noticed?

Perhaps it was this talking point which had me expecting a new revolution in a search homepage:

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo regards the latest changes as the most dramatic renovations made to its front page since the site's 1994 debut as a bare-bones directory developed by Stanford University students Jerry Yang and David Filo.

I'd say the movement from the 1996 Yahoo to the 2000 Yahoo was a far bigger leap, not to mention 2002 or the sea change of 2003. In fact, 2004, 2005, and current look a lot more like the new Yahoo heralded above as the most dramatic renovations since inception.

All of which goes to show you: with a Wayback Machine a hyperbolic talking point can be popped as easily as a balloon.
