Altavista Redesign is more 'Portal-Like'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday October 24, 1999 @12:39AM from the only-constant-is-change dept.

GeHa & others called our attention to the new AltaVista main page that went live late Saturday night (EDT). Apparently the formal kickoff for the redesign is scheduled for Monday and will include a live Lauryn Hill Webcast. I wonder what entertainer Google would choose to help publicize a major site change. Any ideas? UPDATE by RM Sunday morning: the new page is aparently on again, off again until the formal Monday launch. IMO it's not as useful as the old one even though AV is making much noise about it.

Above is the Link I use, this removes almost everything except the search function.
there are various settings you can set if you hunt for them.
