After reading this overview article and viewing the new homepage, libraries and other info organizations might want to consider creating widgets/applications that will fit on the new Yahoo homepage “dashboard.”

Greg Sterling writes:

The left column goes from being a static list of Yahoo properties to a customizable menu that effectively turns the homepage into an RSS reader or “dashboard.” Borrowing from MyYahoo (which will continue on as it is), Yahoo allows users to add or remove widgets or applications. Those include third party sites.

The new homepage will roll out first in the US, followed by the UK, India, France and other countries thereafter.
