Yahoo! Is Cool
Over time I find myself using Yahoo! for more and more things.
-
I used to use the Merriam-Webster
online dictionary, but recently it
(further?) restricted the entries available for free and suggests using
the paid access to an unabridged edition when you lookup a word which
is not in the free edition. So, now I use
Yahoo!'s
interface to the American Heritage dictionary.
-
I used to use weather.com, but it
loads slowly, possibly due to ads with elaborate graphics. So, now I use
Yahoo!'s
interface to weather.com.
-
I've used Yahoo! Maps for a long
time, preferring it to MapQuest.
-
I use the Yahoo!
RSS news feed, which collects stories from many sources,
including AP, Reuters, The New York Times,
The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times,
in my news feed reader.
-
I use Yahoo! Travel,
as well as Yahoo! Yellow Pages
to find lodging that isn't in Expedia's database.
Yahoo! pages are lean and clean and useful. In short, they're cool.
