i haven’t read of any launch, but just noticed this. perhaps i’m in a bucket?

initial thoughts:

+ funny to see eBay in an apps module.

+ telling that the trough now features UPS, Barnes & Noble, and Sony Style. branding the trough? really?

+ trough expando finally allows a link to yahoo! video.

+ today module is refined. slightly more appealing.

+ overall, much less cluttered. strange to see pulse module is given the boot, considering that oneConnect included it as the lifestream feed. hmm…

+ still wish customizable trough existed.

+ at first glance, apps section looks promising. however, just another rigid set of “apps.” hope the intent is to let people add third-party apps, but then again, isn’t that closer to My Yahoo! anyway? hrmm…

+ i wonder how soon it will take AOL to ape this one?

still, interesting to see new stuff. what do you think?
