We’re excited to share the new Yahoo logo with you. It will begin appearing across Yahoo properties globally tonight.
We wanted a logo that stayed true to our roots (whimsical, purple, with an exclamation point) yet embraced the evolution of our products.
Thank you for having some fun with us this month, we loved hearing from you!
Here’s a fun video that illustrates the craft behind the logo:
Happy for Yahoo. To the future!
Taking my health into my future, staying focused, busy, and fulfilled.
Today we’re launching an official Instapaper extension for Firefox!
We’ve been getting a lot of requests from Firefox users to build an extension to match the ones we offer for Chrome, Opera and Safari. Now, we’re happy to roll out the same great saving features for Firefox.
To install the new Firefox extension, open www.instapaper.com/save on Firefox or go to Mozilla’s Add-on page for Instapaper.
Like our other browser extensions, when you find an article or video you want to save, just tap or click once to save it to Instapaper. Other convenient features include:
A keyboard shortcut: A Ctrl+shift+S keyboard shortcut to save the article you’re currently viewing.
A right-click menu option: To save the current page–or any link on the current page–we added an “Instapaper” option to the right-click menu.
More Instapaper save buttons: Now you can “Save to Instapaper” directly from Twitter and Hacker News. Alongside each tweet containing a URL or a Hacker News post, you’ll now see an inline Instapaper save button.
Saving directly to folders: Once your save is confirmed, click the folder icon on the save overlay to direct the article right into one of your folders.
Toggle options: The keyboard shortcut and inline saving options can be toggled on/off.
If you’ve got any questions or feedback, just let us know via support@help.instapaper.com or @InstapaperHelp on Twitter.

Great App
Follow along on #IGYearInReview as we reflect on the most memorable Instagram trends of 2017.
For the fifth year in a row, #love is the top Instagram hashtag. “There can never be an excess of love. We always need more,” says paper typographer Sabeena Karnik (@sabeenu) from Mumbai, India. “It is the most powerful feeling which can be expressed in so many ways: the smallest act of kindness, a caring word, a hug, a smile, a kiss.”
With this piece of art, Sabeena’s intent is to spread the word — and the feeling. “The tiny parts of the heart represent small acts of love which is all we need to make the world a better place,” she explains. “If we give love, we will always receive abundance of it in return.”
Berry monate! Merry belly.
Hello, world! It’s time for a very special Halloween edition of #WeeklyFluff. Last weekend in NYC’s Alphabet City neighborhood, plenty of precious pups, like Cruz @cruzthefrenchie (pictured), let their alter egos shine at the 27th Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade.
Soooo cute!
To see more of Louane’s life and work, follow @louane on Instagram.
Twenty-year-old French musician Louane (@louane) sings every single day. “When I was little, my nanny taught me how to sing, and when I was 7 or 8, I learned how to play guitar and piano,” says Louane, who lives in Paris. “Now, I’m already living my dream, and my goal is to keep singing for many more years — forever, if possible!”
With a new album on its way, Louane was nominated for several awards at this year’s NRJ Music Awards (@nrjhitmusiconly), an annual celebration of music held in Cannes, France. “I watched the NRJ Awards on TV when I was a kid, so being a part of it now is incredible,” says Louane, who also performed. “I want to remember every second of it — and give it my best.”
