Yahoo! Has Some Cool New Tools
Every now and then Yahoo does something so incredibly right that it makes you wonder why they ever do anything wrong. Yahoo Search Assist is such a tool. This is a great tool, but you can only use it on Yahoo!’s home page. Yahoo should roll it out so that you can use it on your own My Yahoo! page or even on a Yahoo! Search page. If you’ve performed a couple of searches and want to perform another one you’ll have to back to Yahoo!’s home page to turn on the assist tool. That’s not cool.
Yahoo! has another tool in beta, though. It’s Yahoo! Bookmarks. This should prove very popular among die-hard Yahoo fans. I highly recommend it. It makes you wonder, though, why Yahoo! is just now getting around to this. They’re playing catch up to Google, the front runner in search engines, and because Yahoo! spent way too long shunning the innovation bandwagon they may be catch up mode for a long time – possibly forever. Still, it’s good to see they’ve woke up.
