Image result shocker NSFW We're obliged to the anonymous reader who's just tipped us off that anyone tempted to do a Yahoo! image search for "franchise" will get a bit more than nice pictures of Starbucks:â¦

If you&#39;re looking for nasty, for a football-style rivalry with two teams that just don&#39;t like each other, don&#39;t look here.

A picture caption last week with an article about an invitation-only social networking Web site misstated its address. It is aSmallWorld.net, not aSmallWorld.com.

Bill Wise of Media Post has put together a thoughtful review of Yahoo&#8217;s reorganization. I had heard a couple of people referring to the Yahoo Reorg as a negative for the Yahoo company and search industry.  I never really understood where they were coming from, nor could they back it up. Seems that there is [...]

Noticed how Yahoo has defaulted &#8220;link:&#8221; and &#8220;linkdomain:&#8221; queries to Site Explorer results (eg. link:http://www.umdum.com)? Well, Search Engine Land&#8217;s Barry Schwartz has found out that Yahoo plans to soon be redirecting &#8220;domain:&#8221; and &#8220;hostname:&#8221; queries to Site Explorer too. Barry says that the change is supposed to happen today. Good for Yahoo Site Explorer, they have an [...]

Yahoo Local Gets Way Enhanced  You ever feel like you're way behind and you're just going to get more behind? My review queue is jammed. I may just take a weekend and do nothing but review resources and drink Red Bull.  Anyway, Yahoo! Local has launched a new local search prduct, Yahoo! ...

This morning Yahoo! announced that its new search marketing platform, Yahoo Search Marketing &#8216;Panama&#8217;, is now available to advertisers that wish to open a new Yahoo! sponsored search account.   U.S. based accounts can now sign up online to begin marketing products through Yahoo!&#8217;s completely redesigned system. Previously, the system was only open to Yahoo!&#8217;s [...]

I should have known... The idiots want to rule the Reddit I started for Scripting News readers. I couldn't figure out how to delete it, and while trying, I deleted my account, so forget the experiment, and if anyone at Reddit is listening, could you please delete it for me. (I sent an email but there was no response.) Still diggin!

After spending a day with the old keyword page, and getting bored with it, I came up with a new way to look at news, something I've not tried before, that might be fun and/or useful http://nytimesriver.com/keywords.html  Since it's likely to change again soon, here's a screen shot. How it works. Every hour, as usual, it does the nytimesriver scan. Every story is linked to in the database undern all the keywords it references. Then the report, in HTML, is prepared, with the keywords in the left column, and links to all the stories in the right colum. The list is sorted by number of references, the keywords with the most references appear at the top of the list.  So today, baseball is the top item, with 15 references. The teams, the Cleveland Indians and Colorado Rockies, rank high. For some reason (heh) the Boston Red Sox don't appear, even though they're still in it, and the Yankees, even though they've been eliminated (yay!) are near the top at position 10.  It's another leaderboard! (Oh shit.) The stories age, and are removed after 24 hours. After all this is news, not olds.  If you have comments, post them under the screen shot, linked above. PS: Note that since the list just started up today, the initial stories, even though some are already 24 hours old, will remain in the queue until tomorrow morning at this time. So the list will be artificially fat today, it'll thin down tomorrow.

It seems even a crusty old newshound like me can get burned. My item last week about a couple naming their baby âYahooâ turns out to be a hoax cooked up by a (now-unemployed) Romanian tabloid reporter. Reporters making things up just for a laugh? I am shocked, simply shocked.Â

Yahoo Search is currently doing limited testing on a new multimedia, multi-content driven search shortcut, which is powered by its content partners, Yahoo Local and Yahoo Travel.  Some searchers will find that when they search for information on major cities, a Y! Travel shortcut will be served above the organic and sponsored Yahoo Search results.  The [...]

We turned off share.opml.org yesterday, for good, as far as I know. It was a good idea, but we never got it together to make it the powerhouse I wanted it to be.  Now that Google and Bloglines both have discovery mechanisms for feeds that you might like, based on what you and others like, there would only be a future for SYO if it were a thriving and growing community, and it isn't.  Normally, I'd leave a site like that running indefinitely, but this one needed its own server, and I wanted to cut my server expenses now that my S3 bill is going up, serving some very big JPEGs and generally being the back-end for a community that is growing, the people using FlickrFan. If there's a big demand to bring it back, we can -- but that's going to require cash flow to go with it. At this point, I don't think it's a good investment for me. Still diggin!

It looks like an unlikely collaboration. Adobe rules in desktop publishing and imaging applications while Yahoo! was once the king of online search.
