« buy one for a friend -- or enemy | main | Hot find »

new and improved

We (as in me and a team of amazing designers not we as in invisible corporate entity) just relaunched Yahoo! Shopping.

I'm pretty exciting. We've got the comprehensiveness of a froogle with the comparison power of a dealtime and we're working to reviews like amazon (we need more) including much-needed merchant reviews.

Plus I think it's got a simple crisp look, a slight updating of the classic Yahoo! style.

Search rocks, browse does a cool thing where we blend hierarchal classification into facets where appropriate (not unique, admittedly, amazon and a few others do it too)

And guess what? A sitemap on every page.

Check it out, leave feedback on our beta-baby!

i like the new "crispness" of the yahoo shopping. however, it does remind me of HP's website.

I also like the clean look. Search is straight forward. Browse as well. Compare is confusing because until you either search or drill down through browsing, there's no way to compare. I tried clicking the title 'compare,' thinking it would take me to some sort of comparison interface. Compare ends up being a glorified advert for 3 individual products out of the whole shebang.

I was also dismayed to be drawn into a lengthy (and overly verbose) survey when attempting to provide feedback. Looks perty though and I commend you and your team on taming that beast of all the yahoo stores etc.
