Yahoo!支持音乐搜索及播放
About a year ago Yahoo! Search launched a music artist shortcut to make it easier for users to find quick details about artists — like videos, photos, sample song tracks, and even their official website links — directly from the search results page. This evening, we’re rolling out some key enhancements as part of our partnership with Rhapsody.
Now, in addition to gaining access to all of the artist background that you could before, you’ll also be able to play up to 25 full songs a month, as opposed to the 30-second samples from before. And, by tapping into the vast catalog of songs available on Rhapsody, we’re expanding the number of audio files that are available for playback and increasing the number of tracks in the shortcut from three songs to four. If you want to look over a greater list of songs, you’ll also be able to link directly to Yahoo! Music right from the shortcuts; full song playback will soon be enabled in Yahoo! Music as well, so stay tuned.
Ubiquity:类似基于浏览器的Yahoo Pipes
Ubiquity for Firefox from Aza Raskin on Vimeo.
Today we’re announcing the launch of Ubiquity, a Mozilla Labs experiment into connecting the Web with language in an attempt to find new user interfaces that could make it possible for everyone to do common Web tasks more quickly and easily.
The overall goals of Ubiquity are to explore how best to:
- Empower users to control the web browser with language-based instructions. (With search, users type what they want to find. With Ubiquity, they type what they want to do.)
- Enable on-demand, user-generated mashups with existing open Web APIs. (In other words, allowing everyone–not just Web developers–to remix the Web so it fits their needs, no matter what page they are on, or what they are doing.)
- Use Trust networks and social constructs to balance security with ease of extensibility.
- Extend the browser functionality easily.

雅虎口碑需要增加SNS元素
我觉得马云看得很清楚，现在进入网游运营，大成功的机会已经很小了。不过，网游是一个成功的生意，围绕网游做一些支付宝的合作，甚至更多种类的一些服务都是可以的。
“ 中国雅虎强调，目前重点仍是生活服务的电子商务领域”。雅虎口碑要匹配实现的是未来五年巨大的第三产业和服务业的增长。雅虎口碑认为，租房子、吃饭、洗脚 店、理发、找保姆、找学校等等，是未来五年后中国互联网最大的业务之源。雅虎口碑的模式，在美国称为Local search，马云称之为生活服务类的平台。
这也就是为什么会有雅虎口碑的合并的根本原因。仅有口碑是不够的，需要由中国雅虎的支持。也就是说单独的分类信息网站是不够的。
说到分类信息网站，中国的分类信息网站学习的对象是：1995年创办于旧金山的Craigslist，创始人Craig Newmark。但他并不认可分类信息的说法，他说：“我不明白你们研究的商业模式是什么，我们是一个社区网站。”
我觉得他的说法是很核心的一个问题。
其实在搜索引擎当道的今天，信息的汇总、或者说搜集信息不是一个困难的事情。关键要看信息后面绑定的人群。
