That's because users like myself can't figure out how to turn off all the popups. Tapan Bhat seems to believe "mouse over" POPUPS are cool and new. The new page creates a distraction by presenting place holders for ads while your mouse moves to the real information your after. I suppose if your mindlessly tracking statistics on how much information your dumping on your users per page view, Yahoo should brand a new term. "Yahoo = Popups, the more the better!" or "Yahoo, now with more ad space".

Then again, I don't use Yahoo for anything other than search and reading the top news stories. The new site is growing on me though. I figure it was just force of habit that the original appealed to me. I must be the only one, but I personally like the old version of the site better.
