Yahoo is often forgotten by web surfers, who tend to lean towards Google for all their search needs. Sometimes it seems unwarranted, because Yahoo has some nice things going for it, but Google is just too big for them to fight. That is, until the release of Yahoo's newest gadget, called Search Pad. According to a blog post on Yahoo's Blog,
Search Pad helps you track sites and make notes by intelligently detecting user research intent and automatically collecting sites the user visits. Search Pad turns on automatically when you’re doing research, tracking sites to make document authoring a snap. You can then quickly edit and organize your notes with the Search Pad interface, which includes drag-and-drop functionality and auto-attributed pasting.
In other words, Search Pad will add to the frequent online task of doing research on something, from a school project to a vacation. This tool would make this sometime audacious task a little easier, and that's something I can get behind. Now, this may not exactly jolt Yahoo back into the fight with Google and Microsoft, but it will certainly add to their muscle.
