Yahoo! Search Pad Demo

Yesterday, Yahoo! announced a new search product that they will be testing called Search Pad. Here's an abstract from the Yahoo! Search Blog:

If you’ve ever used a search engine as a tool to help plan a vacation, research a purchase, or find health information on an illness, you know how difficult it is to keep track of the relevant websites and notes you find. Today, we are testing a new feature called Search Pad to help users effortlessly capture websites that they find on Yahoo! Search and organize that information to complete important tasks.

Here's a video that demonstrates the feature that they're testing.


I have to say this feature is pretty neat, and I think it'll be another key feature that could bring Google users over to Yahoo. I think the tides of the search engine wars are starting to shift especially given the latest news that Yahoo Search's market share has stabilized. This last weekend, Google also had major problems with their search; they flagged every website as being harmful. This event actually caused a lot of people to check out Yahoo! Search again.

A good portion of my team, and the legendary Ryan Grove helped build this product. Kudos to them for successfully delivering a demo ready version of this feature. (For the record, I'm not involved in this product, other than helping with occasional testing/feedback.)
