I would be on the floor laughing my ass off. It's really amusing when people try to "flatter" you this way. If I was the lead designer at Yahoo! I would be on the floor laughing my ass off.

The AOL Canada page is now the Yahoo clone: <a href="http://www.aol.ca">www.AOL.ca</a> What a shame. To add to this, AOL isn’t just testing a beta for the US.

The worst part of it is how they almost exactly copied the menus colour shading! I would be surprised if you looked through the code and found a "coppyright yahoo" in there somewhere!

It basically just shouts "Hey AOL is just a bunch of un-original asses and we really think Yahoo is better than us!" I mean please, this is so ridiculous. If I was the lead designer at Yahoo! I would be pissed. I saw this the other day on techcrunch or somewhere, I was absolutely shocked that they would let this even get as far as public beta.

They just didn't attempt to come up with something they could call original. It is different but I would definitely have to say it was heavily inspired by Yahoo. But I guess they say imitation is the biggest form of flattery and AOL is trying to become and Portal and Yahoo does it best. I don’t know about flagrant rip off but yeah it’s really similar.

Vertical gradients in the left navigation, and so on. I'd really love to hear what was going through everyone's heads when this was being produced...
