New Yahoo! Feature: Search Pad
Today Yahoo! Search is unveiling a new feature called Search Pad. This seems like a cool and useful tool, especially when doing more extensive research like planning a trip. Information can be saved across multiple search sessions and saved to a unique URL. I also like the interactive features such as publishing the saved info to Facebook, and sharing with friends who would then be able to edit. Here is Danny Sullivan’s review on Search Engine Land also, noting it’s usefulness but questioning whether this feature is a “game changer” in the industry.
What do you think of Search Pad? How would you use it? Will it prompt you to use Yahoo! Search more often now?

Oooh this is neat! I hadn’t heard of this before! I never search Yahoo, but I think I’ll give it a whirl. (I mean…until Google Wave comes out I guess).

Isn’t this the same type of thing that the Google toolbar does with visited pages?
