Yahoo Local Gets A New Look

All clean and sparkly, with a dark edge. What do you think?

I rather like it.

New features include better integration with other Yahoo properties, and more social aspects.

The Sunnyvale-based Internet giant has given its Yahoo Local a refresh in hopes of grabbing more of the billion-dollar local online advertising market. It incorporates social networking with life’s basic tasks. The new design, which went live Tuesday night, is the site’s most significant update in two years.

  1. Yahoo needs to simplify their site and do some major branding. Google just provides a quality website. But then again, Yahoo has their niche as well.

    I sometimes feel that Yahoo could definitely use some help from a good web-design company to rethink their layout. Their layouts often distract the users too much and some just give up in frustration trying to navigate the site.
