I’ve used My Yahoo! as my start page for years. As some of you may know, they recently redesigned My Yahoo! with many, many “improvements”. Now it’s a piece of crap, with such useful features as a “My Weather” tab that primarily shows the weather at your server’s location, which in my (and many other’s) case is about 1500 miles away. And, it can’t be changed to your real location! :mad:
The page is now cumbersome, confusing, and very difficult to customize properly. In short, it’s time for a new start page.
Which page do you folks recommend? I’d prefer one that is customizable and has spots for news, comics, local happenings, etc. In other words, something like the old My Yahoo! But I’m open to other suggestions…
I open on my Google calendar. It’s the only calendar I have (nothing on phone or email app) so it’s good to get that reminder of events once a day when I open the browser.
I’ve been using Yahoo! since my main email address is one of theirs. But I have really grown to dislike it and would prefer to use Google news. I can pull up the email in a second tab. So… I think this has goaded me into making the change.
I’m the same way. My tabs sync (or I selectively sync, depending on the machine/device), and so I have multiple tabs which open. Gmail is typically one of them.
I go a long time without restarting my browser, and even then I usually have it revert to the last state. I have one tab now that’s been open for almost two months.
As soon as I saw this thread title, I thought, “I’ll bet he’s going to rant about that ultra-crappy new My Yahoo! page…” I agree with you, it sucks and I am going to dump it after lo these many years…
Probably go to Google News. Too bad iGoogle went away recently.
