Since Marissa Mayer joined Yahoo as the new CEO, she wanted to bring new changes in the company that will not only improve the image of the company, but also strengthen its products. Therefore, under her watch Yahoo has made a lot of acquisitions and it seems that the buying spree is not yet over for Mayer, and every other day we get to hear about a new acquirement. However, this time Yahoo has grasped the headline not because of a new acquisition, but because of the new changes it is bringing to its sites. Yahoo made it known on Tuesday, August 27th that it has redesigned its popular sites such as Yahoo! Weather, Yahoo! Movies and Yahoo! Sports just like its homepage and Yahoo! News

 

Although, there is nothing special in the new design of Yahoo, but still the website is owning it and proudly showing it off to everyone. Below are some of the highlights that Yahoo has revealed on its tumblr site:

 

“The new Yahoo! Sports gives more prominence to what matters to you, including premium content from our Yahoo! Sports experts, scores and fantasy games. It’s also easier to explore your favourite leagues in the content stream — such as NCAA, NFL, MLB, NBA, NASCAR— as well as find content from our exclusive partners like NBC Sports, and more. If you’re preparing your Yahoo! Fantasy Football team, you’ll also notice a refresh of our Yahoo! Fantasy game. The goal of these changes is to provide a game that’s easier to use and more fun to play.

 

Refreshed Yahoo! Movies, Yahoo! Music, Yahoo! TV and Yahoo! omg! provide entertaining, personalized and engaging experiences. We’ve created an easier and intuitive experience for finding movie showtimes, now you can sort by theatre or movie. We’ve also made it simpler to find more entertainment content, including movie trailers, tv episodes and music videos. The viewing experience for videos and photos have never been more beautiful — video screens are now larger and photos are more immersive, high quality and can be seen in full-screen.

 

With the new Yahoo! Games, we’ve streamlined the site and made it easier for you to find popular games like “Slotomania” and” more.

 

In addition to this, Yahoo also redesigned popular features like Weather for the web, as the Flickr community of Yahoo will show users not only their local conditions, but also time and type of weather along with the beautiful photos. This new change will give Yahoo users a completely new experience of the weather.
