The New Yahoo! News Beta is out!
The new Yahoo! News Beta is out! We’ve been working on this for a long time and it’s great to finally let the world see it. It’s got some great stuff that I’ve been thinking about ever since I joined the Y! News team 3 years ago. It has bigger pictures, a cleaner look, IM …
