Yahoo! Improves Search With “Search Pad”
After a year of development, Yahoo! finally went live at 9:00 PM Pacific Time on July 7th with its new Search Pad application. Search Pad is built into Yahoo! Search to provide an online notepad, allowing searchers to collect, edit, organize, save, print and email search results or content. Users will be able to share the collected information on Search Pad via a public URL, as well as Twitter, Facebook and Delicious. This is all according to Yahoo! Tech News.
Athens had Sparta. David had Goliath. Rome had... themselves. The Beatles had The Beach Boys and Rolling Stones. Magic had Bird. The Republicans have the Democrats.

However, in the world of search engines, Google is positioning themselves far above anyone else and isn’t looking back. In fact, the government has recently scrutinized Google for its dominance in online advertising. There may be only one way for Google to have any plausible competition: a partnership between other search engines. The time may be right, and crucial, for this partnership to happen in order to establish competitive positioning against Google and to maximize the potential of the World of Search.
