Yahoo! News

Most of my friends are used to hearing me talk about the great features available from Google. But now it's time for something totally different. Let's go looking at Yahoo!

I didn't know that Yahoo! had a photo and illustration finder much like Google. It appears to work along the same lines as Google. A click on the thumbnail will take you to a split screen. Image solo on top and a copy of the website below. Warnings are posted for most images stating they may be copyright protected. But it appears that final responsibility to find out lies in the hands of the user.

Yahoo! Shortcuts provide quick methods for finding popular info on the Internet. Where can you get cheap gas for your car? Yahoo! Shortcuts has a small data entry bar for this very item. Follow the format data entry instructions and go directly to the list of cheapest gas stations in your area. There are dozens of these quick shortcuts on one web site. Very similar to Soople (Google oriented shortcut site) but apparently sponsored by Yahoo!, unlike Soople.
