Yahoo is Trying to Become a Part of Social Web

Yahoo participated in the fray of integrating social networking with search results. Due to the alliance of Bing and Yahoo, Bing is responsible for all of the back-end work of actually crawling and indexing the Web, while Yahoo handles a unique front-end. The company does not plan to convolve the tent as well as be inferior online search to Google and Bing in the near future.

The company is going to overtake its competitors such as Google and Bing in the race for incorporating real-time search results brought from social networking.

One should say that Google search results as well as the integration of Twitter real-time updates showed the values of social networking for online search. Still the standard catalog of Web sites indexed for online search hold its position, although social networking supplements an immediacy element that is necessary for the society in order to make instant updates on breaking news.

Yahoo has made an approach concerning integration of Twitter in its search results. The company offers only two tweets and also adds two YouTube links that are taken from Twitter updates. It helps cut down on the information overload but unfortunately it cuts too far.

It should be mention that Yahoo is the party, but still the company is lucky because the party is in the process of development.
