Today Yahoo launched Build you own Search Service (BOSS) to compete with Google Custom Search Engine. While both seem like great tools, I have to wonder if it's just too much. As a student and working professional, I am sometimes overwhelmed with the number of web sources, databases, and research tools out there. Is this neccessary? Can we rank tools based on usage? Guess I'll have to see what others are using based on other tools such as del.icio.us. Hmmm, how many more hours do I need to sit in front of the computer?
Yahoo is taking the next step in its "open" strategy with the launch today of BOSS: Build your Own Search Service. The BOSS program will allow third parties to build their own search engine using Yahoo's index and ranking methodologies as a base. |
