Yahoo Debuts Mobile Content Management Solution

Web services giant Yahoo announced the launch of Yahoo onePlace, a mobile content management solution promising to instantly organize personalized information and content into a single location.

With the introduction of Yahoo! onePlace, we are announcing the next essential component to our mobile product line up,” said Marco Boerries, executive vice president, Connected Life, Yahoo!. “Yahoo! onePlace is where users will be able to find what matters to them the most, no matter where their interests, passions and information come from. Yahoo! onePlace will provide mobile users with a rich and dynamic content experience.”

Yahoo! onePlace™ will bring together a consumer’s interests, passions and important information into a single location – creating a rich and highly personalized experience. Everything is instantly organized, dynamically kept current, and served to them the way they want. So now, the content they consume and the way they consume it will be hyper-customized to their specific preferences and tastes.

According to Yahoo, onePlace bookmarks instantly link to news feeds, websites, videos, images, emails, search queries and related online content, with all information automatically updated as well as categorized and tagged to enable subscribers to more intuitively find and combine content in ways that make the most sense to them.

Yahoo cites the example of a user planning a vacation to Paris, who could create a mobile "Paris" collection linking to weather conditions, city guides, restaurant reviews, hotel reservations, walking maps, Edith Piaf songs, English-French dictionaries, winery recommendations, and so forth. Consumers may configure onePlace for hundreds of different topics.

Yahoo! onePlace is designed to include the following features, which will allow consumers to:

  • Centralized and open content management - Centralize and manage all the content they care about, from anywhere on the Internet, accessible from a single location and arranged to best meet their preferences. The product is also designed to allow consumers to link to any favorite content they've already personalized on the Yahoo! network (e.g., MyYahoo!, flickr, del.icio.us), or at other popular websites (e.g., Digg, Last.FM, reddit, Yelp).
  • Personalized views - Enjoy their content based on their specific needs:
  • Collections - Group content in a way that makes sense. For example, create a collection related to an upcoming trip, or of favorite 80s bands.
  • Categories - Organize content according to commonly-used subjects (e.g., celebrities, local businesses, sports), making it easy to access and retrieve.
  • Pulse - Stream updates relevant to users' content, such as flight status changes, new songs by a favorite music artist, or a restaurant review.
  • Favorites - Surface the content a consumer uses most frequently.
  • Dynamic updates - See previews for selected sources that are kept fresh throughout the day - giving users a single location for a view of what's going on across their world.
  • Mobile RSS reader - Use a mobile RSS reader integrated into Yahoo! onePlace - providing a simple way to read and subscribe to their favorite feeds.
  • Smart organization - Create a rich experience around a specific topic by grouping whatever content they find most useful.

Yahoo! onePlace is expected to launch, along with Yahoo! oneConnect™, in Q2 2008, joining Yahoo!’s award-winning mobile product portfolio, which includes Yahoo! Go 3.0, Yahoo!’s new mobile homepage and Yahoo! oneSearch™. After its release, Yahoo! onePlace is expected to become available across hundreds of devices and mobile browsers around the world. /PR
