New Yahoo Search Pages
I'm watching VH1's I Love
the 80s and I caught a commercial for the new Yahoo
Search service. The page has a Web search tab, Directory tab,
News tab, Images tab, Yellow Pages tab and Maps tab. It's very clean and
uncluttered -- very "un-portal-like!" Read a
great article about it here at Search Engine Watch.
Trainers...what do you think? Library patrons LOVE Yahoo! Sometimes it's all they know... We teach Google at SJCPL, with a bit of our Hotlist and DMOZ as well. Could this clean page of easy to click on tabs and longer search boxes be easier to direct people in technology training sessions?
My gut reaction is to run it by the Trainers and see if we might incorporate it into an upcoming Senior Seminar class. Maybe Yahoo! Search and Google together.... maybe even comparing search results between the two. I'll let you know how it goes. :-)
