Yahoo! Digests Are Taking Away Banner Ads

Yahoo! Tech daily digest will be banner ads free

Yahoo! Tech daily digest will be banner ads free

I watched Marissa Mayer’s keynote at CES and was most impressed from the digests, giving crisp, beautiful experience combined with great UX.
They added the fact that the Yahoo digests (for example yahoo.com/tech) will not include interfering banners. Then the question arose – how? Yahoo is looking for ads like any other site. They said “we will explain later”, so I waited until the end of the keynote, but still no explanation.
So far I have not seen any ad. I guess they are carefully integrated.
I’ll look forward to seeing one. I do hope (for their own sake) they are not selling away content.

Facebook Redesign: Goodbye Clutter – Hello Spam

Facebook just showcased the news feed redesign. It seems that the only change is that they are making the pictures larger.

The tagline they put:

Goodbye Clutter. Hello bright, beautiful stories.

Is nice but they need to understand that the clutter is mostly the fault of the “suggested posts” they care to SPAM at the users constantly…

Until that would change, I don’t see any chance of the redesign doing much difference. It’s just a face-lift – the lady is still old…
