Based on your feedback, we're testing new versions of msn.com. We've received a lot of great ideas about how to make the page better, and we know you want it to be Simple, Fast, and Personal. Try logging into the page. We'll use the information you gave us in your passport to let you know if you've got mail and to personalize your weather and the stories that appear in the big picture (left side of page). Pretty cool.
A note on mechanics of the beta: We randomly selected people from msn.com to try beta.msn.com. This is so we can see what people do on and say about the new page, and rapidly achieve statistical significance in the test. We're sorry if you miss the old msn.com, and appreciate the help testing the new versions. One of these versions looks pretty similar to Yahoo! Last year they tested a page that looked a lot like MSN. I guess we're both just curious about how our audience reacts to a competitor's page. Remember, this is is just a test. Thanks for the help

Its live! We've now got the new page live with all our services hooked up. Go take a look at the link below. We are still working through a few minor issues before we start sending real traffic to this page, but all in all it looks pretty good.
MSN.com BETA
Here are a couple of the things you will see with this page:
Collapse and expand modules for content you do or don't like
Add modules for additional functionality (more coming soon)
Change to one of 5 themes
Personalize with your location
Add stocks
View your mail in the page (including deleting mail from the page)
Select an edition of the slideshow that matches your interests
Currently, we've optimized this for the majority of our users which run IE on XP, and haven't completed work for alternate and downlevel browsers. We're working on support for all major browsers, so stay tuned.
We've also dramatically reduced the number of ads on the page. WHEW! (been working on that one for a while)
We're also using AJAX quite extensively, so you'll see the page load and data pop in after the page is usable.
We'd love to hear from you about what you think. Ad a comment or give us a trackback. Tell us what you like and what you don't. We're interested in hearing your opinions.
Thanks,
