Yahoo homepage is rebuilt in 2009 into a highly interactive, configurable page with applications (Facebook feed, finance widgets), user-added favorite sites, and per-visit personalization so two visitors can see different pages. A new metric called time to interactivity measures milliseconds between hitting enter and being able to complete an action. Engineers accept a larger request waterfall when perceived responsiveness stays high and ship a reusable, configurable application framework powering Yahoo homepages worldwide.
