Slashdot Mirror

Yahoo says they believe in the power of community; in people helping people get answers to their questions. This is an open invitation to all Google Answers Researchers: http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000385.html

Yahoo's support of Wikipedia is significant, see http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000100.html.

Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, introduces the Open Content Alliance on http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000192.html

About the organisitions involved:
To kick this off, Internet Archive will host the material and sometimes helps with digitization, Yahoo will index the content and is also funding the digitization of an initial corpus of American literature collection that the University of California system is selecting, Adobe and HP are helping with the processing software, University of Toronto and O'Reilly are adding books, Prelinger Archives and the National Archives of the UK are adding movies, etc. We hope to add more institutions and fine tune the principles of working together.

And also following Google's footsteps, Yahoo started Yahoo Mail, as well as Yahoo Maps, and Yahoo News.

Seriously, they have a lot more stuff which has been released before Google, and more updates can be found at their official blog http://www.ysearchblog.com/ which is much better than Google's official blog.

Seriously guys, this yahoo bashing google loving is pathetic..

This was released Feb 2005 ..

Googles was released this month ( I think, double check that )

And yes, i do work for Yahoo, but these are not the opinions of my employer.

You should read the Yahoo Search Blog then.

Yahoo is not a news agency. If you're going to go after someone for criticizing Google, attack the AP or Reuters.

This announcement has been on Yahoo!'s search blog since last week.

Yahoo Slacker is next, not Yahoo Yoohoo.

It's a shame the poster didn't link to the info we posted on the Yahoo! Search blog last night. I think it answers some of the questions coming up here. Then again, this is Slashdot! :-)
