Yahoo Modernizes Homepage, But is it Enough?

Yahoo (YHOO) has finally updated their homepage, www.yahoo.com. The updated version can be viewed here with a compatible browser. Although positive for the company, will it be enough to compete with the 800 pound search gorilla, Google (GOOG)?

Pros
* Site looks shiny and modern after the long-overdue remake
* New features added (i.e. Yahoo! Pulse)
* The site easier is now easier to navigate

Cons
* Compared to Google's stark homepage, it is still an overly crowded page
* The added features don't seem to be groundbreaking (i.e. Google Maps, Gmail)
* Not enough to convince users to switch from another search engine

In the end, the users and the market will judge for themselves, but I for one, am not impressed with this dress-up, my overall rating of the redesign is - yawn.
