Lycos, old Internet buddy, has it really been ten years of fun under the sun already? I guess so, as the venerable Internet portal announced today the relaunch of their home page to start the kick off of their decade anniversary celebration.

Lycos, in a company press release, said the new home page provides more extensive daily content including streaming video and audio, games, photo albums, blogs, horoscopes, news and more. This is in addition to quick access to Lycos Mail, and content navigation with Lycos Search, including web, people, yellow pages, shopping, multimedia and discussion search tabs.
