Introducing New Preview Panels!
Posted Jan 7th 2008 4:33PM by Lisa Edwards
Today we introduced 6 new Preview Panels that are now available to everyone and we are really excited about them. Added to the list are new Preview Panels for eBay, Finance, Health, Movies, Music, and TMZ.
To refresh everyone's memory, Preview Panels are the 4 large buttons at the top right of the page that expand when you mouse over them. What's great about Preview Panels is that they present a lot of information without taking up a lot of space and cluttering your homepage. Just rollover the Preview Panel to see the content you want without having to click off to another page. Plus, customization options allow you to choose the Preview Panels you want to appear on your homepage.
To select one of these new panels, simply click on the small triangle in the upper right of any of the Preview Panels (except Mail which is permanent – everyone wants to see their e-mail right?). Once you choose a new Preview Panel, your web browser will remember your choices and load these up for you every time you open the page.
We hope that you have a chance to try them all and see which ones you like best. Over the next few weeks, we will highlight each of the new Preview Panels on the blog to give you a better understanding of the new features and functionality.
So we really want to hear your feedback on the all of the new Preview Panels. Do you like them? Are they easy to use? Are there things you wish they could do to make it even better? Are there other Preview Panels that you don't see that you would find useful?
We look forward to hearing from you!!!

81. Sanjay, I think the added choices are great.
What I'm wondering is, why if these new added panels have been available since 1/7/08 is the New Features promo on the WS only just appearing today 3/6/08?
Seems to be this should have been promoted much sooner.

82. How about fewer useless side features getting in my way, and just make the basic mail functions and user support better. As is mail bulk downloads/archives of mail, etc are getting worse and worse - and much slower as they hang waiting for all these popup adds/etc, before they will let you get to your mail.

86. I don't like aol desktop either. I was really happy with 9.0, because I could put my own favorites at the top and go to them whenever I like. Now I have a hard time even finding them. This is truely a mess. I am ready to drop aol myself I have had enough.

91. Wish I had a choice of the old Netscape, and continued support. We need more stand alone browsers not less.

93. Why is it that I cannot find an AOL disc anywhere? I have been all around to many, many stores and no one has any. All I get from the employees is "Gee, we haven't carried them for a really long time". They have most of the others. They used to be everywhere and I even got them in the mail all the time.
Am I crazy to be looking for this? Is it non existant?

98. Hey, The ICQ there knew?
Does AOL only takes care of AIM?
I prefer the ICQ, I think much better and more versatile that AIM.
Indeed AOL has "envy" of ICQ.

99. Why the h-e-l-.......you know the rest that you have to use a different Windows in order to upgrade a new AOL. I am mad as (expletive). AOL is a ripoff, but Windows is an even bigger ripoff.
