Yahoo Search Results Page tries on some Fancy Pants

Yesterday, I opened up the Yahoo Search Page and typed in “home siding Richmond” and was pleasantly surprised. Yahoo has revamped their Search Results page and while it looks very similar to Bing’s and Google’s Results Page, ‘Imitation is the best form of flatter’ isn’t it? Its much cleaner and the additional search results on the left side panel that includes top sites with news and info is pretty sweet. The placement and new design of the sponsored search ads are much easier to read and they have increased their character limit.. Local search maps are also now more evident on search queries. Yay Yahoo! Shout out to my homie Dar, Yahoo Rep from the West Coast…
