Yahoo! onePlace for Mobile Expected in Q2 2008
I found Yahoo! onePlace over at GigaOM today and I must say that I am impressed with what they are promising. This looks like it could be an excellent 'clipping' / bookmarking service for mobile devices.
In a bold move, Yahoo! is including content from their competitors, like Google, in their onePlace service.
This shows real guts and insight - rather than owning the content, Yahoo! wants to own the user expereince. Just as content owners are formatting content for specific mobile devices, Yahoo! is making it easier to mobilize content. And we can be sure there will be advertising built around the UI based on the contet.
From the onePage site:
Yahoo! onePlace™ brings together all your interests, passions and important information into a single location, creating a rich, highly personalized experience around it for you. Everything is instantly organized, dynamically kept up to date, and served up to you the way you want.
Let's hope there is an open beta soon.
