Redesigning the Yahoo homepage

Larry Tesler is redesigning the Yahoo homepage. His design philosophy:

…Everything has to be very fast, which can be an issue on the Internet, and be very simple. Sometimes things appear to be simple, but aren’t.

The other thing I’ve been pushing hard since I got here is that using Yahoo should be a delightful experience. I’m getting people to put more focus on that aspect. The last part of my philosophy is that product development needs to be observed. [We need to] build prototypes and put those ideas in front of customers.

Well, these are the principles of any good user interface: simple, fast and delightful.
