Yahoo! is always rolling out cool shit, it’s such a shame they’re always in trouble, and an even worse shame if they fold or get broken up.

Glue kind of reminds me of Mahalo.com

An anonymous comment supporting Yahoo! after their latest string of funky news certainly screams – EMPLOYEE.

It’s very hard to put trust in a company that may be another notch in the innovation through acquisition Microsoft belt. Google rules for a reason.

Sorry, but your country is poor (very little ad $). What works in India won’t necessarily translate well in the US (different cultures/ economic status). Look at GDP if you want to understand.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s fair use really. It’s equivalent to Google News except with more types of content. Tons of sites have internal APIs which they don’t list, I know that because I email them to see if they have them in the first place. If they place ads on their page, why not? Last I checked, bandwidth and harddrive space is still not free. Stealing content from sites like Hulu, Flickr, Youtube, Google Search, Google Maps, Yahoo! Answers, Scribd is not exactly stealing, considering they have pretty good APIs that allow developers extract data they need to put on their site.

This is a pretty weak effort, and doesn’t automatically fall back to Yahoo standard search if there is no “glue” page.

I think it is a weaker implementation of what Ask.com tried in 2007.

I think they are trying to do something like Propeller which belongs to AOL.

why google blog search? first of google is a competitor, and secondly there are much better blog search engines than google.
Yahoo must be sucking up to google

Right..while not forgetting that kosmix is nothing but “stealing” content and slapping ads on the pages and resulting in arbitrage!

Thats not the normal page you land on for kosmix by the way..I like to refer to it as “cloaking” at its best..show the normal users and search engines this ugly stolen content and show adwords and yahoo search marketing a page filled with ads..

Fundamentally I love the Glue’s approach i.e. to aggregate content from different sources for a given topic. However, to do this really well one has walk the last mile. Glue has much to catch up with Kosmix on that. To illustrate Glue does not have results for many topics. And for the ones it has, the pages are not as rich as can be. For instance take thee topics: Techcrunch, Seinfeld, and NFL. Glue has no pages but corresponding pages on Kosmix are actually very rich:
http://www.kosm.../topic/seinfeld, http://www.kosm....com/topic/NFL?
http://www.kosm....com/topic/2008 Olympics?

OK, if I was Yahoo I definitely would not be showing anything “Google”

The service is….. “OK” may need a re-design and few more rounds of optimization but hey, anything new at Yahoo I am all for it.

Best,
Mike

BTW, Forbes just scooped you.

“Ba11mer dismisses Yahoo buyout but open on search”

Yahoo is pretty much gone. It will take YEARS before their value returns. They really should have taken that deal.

Mike, weren’t you saying how Yang stepping down added “billions in shareholder value instantly” ???

http://finance....p;q=NASDAQ:YHOO

Looks like your Yang firing recovery theory was dead wrong. If anything Yang leaving made it even worse.

I cashed out a LONG time ago. Thank god I found out that the hedge funds had yet to liquidate, and that the margin traders were running out on their loans.

They’re ALL out of money!

Gas is $2.10 a gallon here in Long Beach. Wall street loses, we win! Hooray California! Hooray Japan!

It’s a good sign of change of Yahoo. This and Buzz!, after some fine tuning of course, are possibly great products. I’m looking forward for newer developments!
