La nueva página de inicio conecta a los hispanos a lo mejor de la red de manera personalizada y veraz. Les permite conocer las últimas noticias de su artista de Reggaetón favorito, estar al tanto de lo que sucede en su  novela favorita o enterarse de los últimos marcadores del futbol, todo desde un mismo lugar y sin complicaciones.

La prioridad de este nuevo look es también un compromiso con el contenido, no solo para satisfacer las necesidades de todos los hispanos que buscan información en su idioma, pero también proporcionarle contenido original. Y no se quedan atrás aquellos que actualizan constantemente las redes sociales a las que pertenecen, como en el caso de quienes visitan Facebook, pues ahora,  podrán vincular ambas cuentas y compartir sus actualizaciones con sus amigos de ambas redes. Y por si fuera poco podrán darle un nuevo vistazo a las búsquedas más populares de Internet con acceso a información local y la posibilidad de colocar el módulo de noticias en la parte superior de la página para accesarla más fácilmente.

Hoy la prioridad es poner a los hispanos de Estados Unidos justo al centro de la noticia, al mando de lo que quieren saber y experimentando una forma de navegar por Internet mucho más fácil, pero eso si,  permitiéndoles hacer de esa experiencia una más personal. Que esperas y visita la nueva página: www.espanol.yahoo.com

Yahoo! en Español debuting a new look!

We all want to be able to control everything from our love lives to what’s on the computer screen and now Yahoo! en Español is allowing us to do just that.

Yahoo! en Español is launching a new customizable homepage which brings together the best of the Web with the best of Yahoo! en Español in a single destination. This new homepage makes it easier for U.S. Hispanics to get necessary around-the-clock information via a centralized site serving as a valuable user reference for anything from learning more about favorite hobbies to purchasing a new car. In addition visitors can easily add apps – from Yahoo! en Español or any site on the Web – and access them from their computer or mobile device! Access to favorite content, services and experiences is now available in Spanish and available with the push of a button.

From Yahoo! Sites and My Favorites, U.S. Hispanics can now easily choose from a variety of apps to add directly to their homepage, including different email providers (AOL^®, Gmail^®, Yahoo! Mail), popular social networking sites, and more. These apps let people preview, interact with, or navigate to their favorite sites from one easy Spanish-language check-in point. Also new is the App Maker where users can easily create their own apps on the fly by adding virtually any URL of their choice and Social Updates for easy integration of both Yahoo! en Español and Facebook accounts.  Most importantly the new PC-to-Mobile Sync allows U.S. Hispanics to continue their Yahoo! en Español experience on-the-go with seamless PC-to-mobile integration.

So, what are you waiting for? Check it out and experience the new homepage for yourself at www.espanol.yahoo.com.

• Unleash your inner curator: If you’re a photo nut, it’s easy to get sucked into exploring the more than 3.4 billion photos on Flickr. And if you’ve ever wanted to collect and horde your favorites by theme, have we got a new feature for you. Introducing Flickr Galleries, which gives members a handy way to celebrate the creativity of their fellow photographer. You can curate together up to 18 public photos or videos in one place – Big Ben, blue eyes, snails, cats with thumbs, mannequins, what have you. To get started, just click on the “Add to Gallery” icon on the menu bar. Just five days out of the gate and it’s a very popular feature – you’ve created more than 25,000 galleries to date. More here.
• Out with the old: The Messenger team has news for anyone using Yahoo! Messenger versions 6.0 through 7.5. As of September 30th, we’ll be retiring those oldies. If you’re using anything below 8.0, you’ll find you won’t be able to sign in. That’s the price of progress, right? (We wouldn’t want you to be that guy still using a mobile phone with an antennae.) While Messenger 9.0 and the beta of Messenger 10 are rich in features like video sharing, full-screen video chat, spam protection, and more, we realize people like options. So after September 30th, you can also try Yahoo! Messenger for the Web or the IM built into Yahoo! Mail. More here.
• Celebrate en Español: In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Yahoo! En Español has teamed up with Kodak to invite Latinos – and Latinos at heart – to “Muestra Tu Herencia” (Show Your Heritage). Folks are invited to upload photos of friends and family through October 31st as well as leave comments. For every photo uploaded, Yahoo! and Kodak will donate $4 to the Hispanic College Fund (up to $20,000). And as of October 12th, we’ll unveil a digital photo mosaic of all the submitted photos as a tribute to Hispanic families across the U.S. Muchas gracias!
