Yahoo! Once a portal, always a portal
Yahoo! has had a separate search page for a while. Initially it was a copy of the simplicity of the Google home page (see Google’s reasons, although I’ve also heard it’s like that because the founders weren’t particularly good at HTML). I always thought that was a good idea because the main Yahoo! page has become so cluttered over the years it’s now annoying to use.
But it looks like they couldn’t stay away. The Yahoo! search page now features news headlines and some stock information. I wonder how long it will be until the two pages are identical.
