If any of you have ideas for applications/services/features you’d like Yahoo to provide now’s your chance to speak up. Jeremy Zawodny has posted the following request on his blog:
I am curious anyway–because its a topic that comes up now and
then. More now than then, it seems. People ask about Yahoo offering web
services, but I’m not sure what services a user or developer
would want. In other words, if I was going to make a big stink about
it, I’m not sure what I’d choose to target first.Search? Bookmarks? Finance? Messenger? Sports?
There’s a lot of potential and a lot to choose from.
So that’s the point of this post. For the sake of my curiosity, what web services would you
like to see Yahoo offer? Not things that’d be cool but you’d never use,
but the ones that’d actually be useful. Bonus points for ideas of what
you’d do with ‘em if they were available.
There are some good ideas posted in the comments already, especially with respect to Yahoo Finance and fantasy sports data. But my favorite has to be “acquire BlogLines and incorporate it into My Yahoo”. Another good idea is to buy or build something like Del.icio.us. While they’re at it they should snag Technorati or Feedster too.
