Making Yahoo 'a delightful experience'

Larry Tesler, Yahoo's new vice-president for the User Experience and Design group, says redesigning Yahoo's home page will happen gradually. His design philosophy: "A good design will provide both a useful set of functions that meet an unmet need and deliver those functions through an outstanding user experience. The design has to maximize both of those and get them to support each other. Everything has to be very fast, which can be an issue on the Internet, and be very simple. Sometimes things appear to be simple, but aren't.

"The other thing I've been pushing hard since I got here is that using Yahoo should be a delightful experience. I'm getting people to put more focus on that aspect. The last part of my philosophy is that product development needs to be observed. [We need to] build prototypes and put those ideas in front of customers."
