Yahoo unveils ‘Shortcut’ news tool
Yahoo has added a new feature to its search service which the company
hopes will improve coverage of breaking news. The company said that the 'Shortcut' component will not only display
news stories on breaking items, but also offer related Twitter posts as
well as photos and video files. Integration with the popular
microblogging platform was a special point of emphasis for Yahoo.
Overhauling search has been a top priority for Yahoo in its ongoing
rebuilding efforts under Jerry Yang and more recently Carol Bartz. In
addition to the high-profile deal with Microsoft, the company has added
social networking components and overhauled its mobile platform. (VNU Net)
