Yahoo India Search Glue Pages beta

Now, You can see a new concept of search in Yahoo! India called as "Glue Pages" (Beta) having the visual search results pattern consisting the most relevant search results for your keyword including Organic Search Results, News, Stock Charts, Sponsored Links, India Jobs, Video Content, Text, Y! Maps and Images in a single page initially for the selective search terms across categories such as entertainment, sports, health, travel, technology, and finance.

For example, if your search is for Delhi, then Y! Glue Page search result for Delhi will provide you Official Profile of Delhi, Wikipedia Information for Delhi, Flickr Places (Images), HolidayIQ Destination Guide, Y! Maps : Delhi, Wiki Travel, News with organic and sponspored results.



"Glue Pages Beta limits guesswork for the user by providing the best of web, all onto one 'at-a-glance' page. Over time, Glue Pages Beta will be made available to more categories that are relevant to users in India. We are excited to open this up further and work with a wider ecosystem of consumers, publishers, developers and advertisers in the future," said Sandeep Shrivastava, Director - Search, Yahoo! India.

I found it really useful and time saving for a user / searcher. Great work Yahoo! India.

YouTube India Live

Hi,

I have just checked that Google has launched YouTube India, especially for Indians. This site is having all the videos found at YouTube main site but if you are on YouTube India, it will automatically show the current videos that India visitors are watching and featured videos are also relevant to the target audience (India). For this, they have signed up with many content creators for content distribution in YouTube India site.


Youtube.co.in and Youtube.in both will redirect you to http://in.youtube.com

Not only this; with YouTube India, you can also allow you to connect with local users and can share your views. Read more at http://in.youtube.com/blog
