Yahoo prepares to launch new-look home page

Yahoo is preparing to launch its new look Home Page design the Wall Street Journal says, almost two months earlier than expected. It's expected to slowly become available across the globe starting tomorrow.

Internally called "Metro", the new design features a left hand menu that will allow you to customise the links to all different third-party web applications such as Facebook, Twitter and Gmail.

Personalised content will also become available, as well as the removal of many links to all the different Yahoo services making the page look cleaner and sleeker.

Yahoo has also said that soon users will be able to synchronise the customisations they make on their mobile phones and on the desktop versions of the Yahoo site. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has cited a reliable insider as saying the roll-out is expected to begin in the US sometime tomorrow, before eventually make its way around the world, with France, India and the UK next on the list. The new look site has been around and under development since September last year, when tech sites began reviewing it.
