Thread: Yahoo's BOSS

Why BOSS should it be BYOS

Yahoo will try to unleash the pent-up innovation Thursday with a new service called "Build Your Own Search," or BOSS, that will share the Sunnyvale-based company's technology with third parties.

That means any Web site will be able to assemble a search engine using Yahoo's system for indexing information and images on the Internet.

All Yahoo will seek in return is the right to display ads alongside the results of any search engine that piggybacks on its technology. That way, Yahoo figures it will lessen Google's dominance.

Nice Idea, but,

I dont think this is the kind of idea they are gonna need to go against Big Daddy Goog, they need to come up with something better than that!!!

Maybe it is called boss because they are trying to say that you are incharge of your search engine.
