Yahoo News has been redesigned for the better. Unlike Google News, it doesn’t automatically figure out what’s news by looking at thousands of news sources. Instead, it defaults to showing you the news from one of six major news sources, one source at a time, although you can add any RSS feed as a new source. I like the fact that at Google you’re likely to find an Indian or Chinese newspaper’s version of, say, an American political story, but Yahoo — which is configurable, while Google News is not — presents more stories on a single page than Google does.

If you want to see how Yahoo manages the problem of compressing more news stories per square inch of screen real estate, hover over any of the news links for a second or two…
