Yahoo to Launch New Homepage
Months Ahead of Schedule
Yahoo's overhaul of its flagship site, originally scheduled for this fall, has been one of its biggest undertakings over the past year. The project, known internally as "Metro," was kicked off under Yahoo's former chief executive, Jerry Yang, as a way to let users customize the site with links to other Internet services with which Yahoo has been continually competing for users' attention.
The biggest change in the new design is a left-hand menu users can customize with links to dozens of potential third-party software developers may seek to build, such as micro-blogging service Twitter, for example, and Google Inc.'s Gmail, said the people briefed on the plans.

Is This the Future of Journalism?
As newspapers across the country and here locally are on life support, smaller, niche online papers are not only surviving, but thriving. With a tenth of the budget and staff, one online paper, the Voice of San Diego, is breaking news and at times scooping the competition. Funded completely by grants and private contributions, this non-profit sees itself as part of the future of journalism - sans the print and paper. Seventy percent of its operating costs goes to the salaries of the reporters. In contrast, the Los Angeles Times spends seventy percent of its budget on production and distribution. Is this web-only, paperless outfit the next business model for the print industry? Can it do the job of bigger, more experienced newspapers? Sphere: Related Content
