Yahoo confirmed late Wednesday night that it is testing a new home page. A screenshot can be seen on Flickr.
The screenshot shows a simpler Web search area at top with links to content areas running down the left side and featured news shown prominently up high.
"This is testing we are doing for the Yahoo home page (www.yahoo.com) as part of our ongoing efforts to gain consumer insight and feedback during the product enhancement process," a Yahoo spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail response to questions.
