+ More State Web Sites To Appear In Searches With Google’s Help (via AP)
Florida joins the “Google Group” of five making it six. The story reads that the content can be crawled by other spiders along with Googlebot.
Under a new partnership announced Monday by Gov. Charlie Crist, Google is providing free consulting and software to help make more files recognizable to most search engines.
Note: Interesting to see that the article makes no mention of the excellent work Vivisimo is doing with USA.gov. If you haven’t used it since it was FirstGov, take a look. It’s MUCH MUCH better. Plus, you get the benefit of Vivisimo’s dynamic clustering which can help you quickly spot concepts and trends that would be difficult to see one result at a time.
+ Stuff We Noticed at Yahoo
Yahoo appears to be testing (beta) a new look for My Yahoo. We noticed a link to the beta on the Yahoo home page today.
1) My Yahoo Beta
++ More Here
UPDATE: First announced in March. We are seeing it for the first time.
2) “Sponsored” Yahoo Shortcuts
Note: Not new. Danny covered this in October on Search Engine Land. However, the about link next to the shortcut does not explain the difference between a regular and sponsored shortcut.
