Good luck Yahoo! Yahoo India and the Glue is also looking very good, but that may have been Halle’s impact more than the search result layout. And Mike (or should I call you Mr Arrington?), the Seesmic comments are ‘quality’, it really helps when I am constantly reading all day, and quite cool just to see you say your thoughts aloud… Although the video shy like me will continue to hide behind text for some time longer. Finally, congrats on getting yourself onto Time mag, a well deserved credit!

This will be a VERY helpful tool for those of us who search (and scrape) for a living. I tested this out at the booth as well, having them conduct a site: search on LinkedIn for profiles w/ certain keywords. The ability to not have to go into each link to gather name/title/location etc. is such an incredible timesaver, and I think once the kinks are worked out of the beta, this will be a powerful (and FREE!!!) tool for us researchers.

@Justin… without question that will work and this hits close to the SEM field in many ways. What is missing in this post (and I respect its tech testing focused and well done) are real world business case examples. You hit on one, I can see many areas where smart developers will create code to help others with traffic, branding, consumption of entertainment etc. With a smart engine and code on top of the search algorithms the ability to “discover” or find interesting and useful content is increased. Ultimately that is Yahoos goal and I would imagine they will acquire the best 3rd party code and applications over time. The BIG question remains why would I code something, whats in it for me?? Will yahoo share search revenues, will sites pay for my traffic or exposure increasing service? I think if you are thinking here, go for things which marketers will pay for as they already pay for SEM tools, shops and services.

This seems like a great new feature, for the searcher, but especially for the small and mid size businesses that are looking to attract more clicks to their sites via seach…..I think that this should definitely become standard and just integrated into Yahoo’s algorythm….what I wonder is how thy will get word out and get website owners to initiate this process for them and their benefit…does anyone think that this may be a great new service idea (perhaps via telemarketers) to all the sites listed under thousands of keywords to market this change to them convincing them of the possible traffic increase to them by having a better search display? I think site owners may even pay for this to be setup for them….. Curious to hear replys…From Mark as well.
