Yahoo To Offer Abstracts Of Search
Thursday, December 4th, 2008I just read an article that says Yahoo will offer Abstracts of Search sometime next year.
What they plan to do is offer a summary of a web page with the link, rather then just links. It is an automated system that extracts key data they think the user is looking for. It will make filtration of the results better for the user.
This sounds like exciting technology, people are essentially lazy so they want faster quality results. That is why Google has done so well.
It’s a big job they are undertaking, so I wish them luck, Google needs a strong competitor while Yahoo needs to improve their search.
