[Giorgiotave]

Sono passati 5 anni dalla nascita di Yahoo! Search e li festeggiano con un post sul blog.

Lo riporto perchè c'è la lista delle cose fatte e di quelle da fare nel prossimo futuro:

In the last five years, we’ve reached some important milestones:
• Opened our search infrastructure and index to outside developers with BOSS.
• Opened our search results page to outside innovation with SearchMonkey.
• Launched Search Assist, still the most sophisticated query assistance technology on the Web.
• Launched a suite of mobile search products including Yahoo! oneSearchTM.
• Acquired, grew, and improved Delicious, a top social bookmarking tool.
• Launched Site Explorer to help site owners to manage their presence on Yahoo! Search.
• Protected users from potential viruses, spyware, and spam with SearchScan.
• Integrated musicand video players directly on the search results page.
And while it’s fun to look back, we’re continuing to innovate for the future by:
• Continuing to open our search results page and infrastructure to improve Yahoo! Search and encourage innovation in the industry.
• Focusing on detecting and responding better to query intent.
• Breaking the ten-blue-links paradigm by developing a richer, more adaptive search results page.
• Making it easier to conduct and share online research with Search Pad.
• Delivering a new and better advertising experience that improves relevance for our users and ROI for our advertisers.
