yahoo kinda sucks these days.

They forced me to use their new page.

They have tons of little flashes and other crap that slows the loading and navigating.

Their news is like 90% movies which i dont really care to watch or to be forced to watch an ad before i read the news...

Does anyone have a good general news sight that they reccomend?

I am thinking of moving most of my email to gmail and just leaving that sight altogether. Which is odd, cause like 4 years ago i would say 80% of my surfing was yahoo. Now its like email and sports scores...

I use Digg, Slashdot, Google News, and Fark for most of my news needs.

The New Netscape may be to your liking. It's like Digg, but more for regular news.

For my starting page, I really like http://www.myway.com - it lets you do a lot of customizing, and has zero ads. Once you create your own account, you just start at http://my.myway.com and (with a saved cookie) you start at your personalized page. You also get the same personalized page on any computer (as long as you log into your page).

I love my personalized MyWay start page as well. DO NOT download or install the "MyWay SpeedBar" as it is a known piece of adware.

Google is also doing personalized pages. http://www.google.com/ig

Yup personalized google home is my homepage.

I still use a personalized My Yahoo page. Been using this since 99 and love it.

I bailed from Yahoo! on 9/1 when they forced their new lame interface down my throat. I'm using personalized Goggle for now, but I miss my old Yahoo!
