Personalization done right and what's with the apps?

Personalization is not easy. Worth watching how Yahoo Labs scientists are tackling this issue with news content.

And if you are interested to find out how we are doing in terms apps ecosystem in SciVerse and the new Elsevier's Applications and Developer Network initiative just check out all the new solutions that are available to SciVerse users in our applications gallery; you can see one example of our collaboration with scientific community in this case NCBI with the Genome Viewer app; we initiated community driven projects AppsforScience Challenge and AppsforLibrary Idea Challenge, hackathons at NJIT and Tetherless World Health and Life Sciences Hackathon and coming soon Singapore Code Jam.

Overall we are doing "jolie" good...

Here is the Genome Viewer app that was developed by our Content Innovation team and NCBI:

Yahoo takes personalization in search to a new level

IdeologicalSearch is another good example why Yahoo Search team rocks.

Yahoo [re]Search Pad

Yahoo Search team takes another great step to improve, search, research and collaboration. Search Pad is currently in beta

Bringing Lenses to Search using Yahoo Boss

Yahoo Search team continues to rock. Here are few more sites powered by Yahoo Boss: getthepicture, delver, Techcrunch

I believe that Yahoo has one of the most creative search teams in the search industry and they have been executing what Jeff Weiner stated in 2007:

"Our goal is to tie these underlying stores of knowledge together wherever and whenever it might be useful for you. In other words, we want to leverage our assets to build the most relevant, comprehensive, dynamic, and open repository of knowledge and content on the Web. One of the things we’re most excited about is the concept of “open,” and all of the potential we have yet to tap by opening up some of the most trafficked pages on Yahoo.com to the highest quality publishers on the Web, regardless of their size."

Yahoo Boss and better search service for academic libraries

An opportunity for academic libraries to leverage Yahoo Boss. Meanwhile Microsoft moves along in their effort for "free tools and services to support the Scholarly Communications lifecycle"

Yahoo's new strategy and the world's knowledge

Jeff Weiner explains the rationale on the new strategy for Yahoo to “ connect people to their passions, communities, and the world’s knowledge.”

"Our goal is to tie these underlying stores of knowledge together wherever and whenever it might be useful for you. In other words, we want to leverage our assets to build the most relevant, comprehensive, dynamic, and open repository of knowledge and content on the Web. One of the things we’re most excited about is the concept of “open,” and all of the potential we have yet to tap by opening up some of the most trafficked pages on Yahoo.com to the highest quality publishers on the Web, regardless of their size.

It would be interesting to see how Yahoo will integrate world's scientific knowledge in their new strategy.

I love the humor too. It's all plumbing
