Yahoo! Launches Mobile Publisher Services

Few days back we informed about a report published by News.com over the possibility of Google Mobile phone. However, Google has lately squashed all the mobile phone talk. Google commented that they are not concentrating on a Google mobile pone, however, a mobile software is high on their list.

Sydney Morning Herald informs:
Google has poured cold water on claims it is developing a mobile phone.
The search giant said it was more logical to form partnerships with existing handset makers instead.
Google's South-East Asia managing director of sales and operations, Richard Kimber, yesterday echoed statements made by Google's chief internet evangelist, Vinton Cerf, that building hardware would be a dramatic shift in the company's business model.

"At this point in time, we are very focused on the software, not the phone," The Australian Financial Review today quoted Kimber as saying during his speech at the Search Engine Room conference in Sydney.

Mobile Search Not Popular In UK

A new mobile search service has been launched by Yahoo! named oneSearch. The service is one of itself as it takes a different method for showing the search results on mobile devices and mobile phones.

According to Paul Yiu of Yahoo! Search:

The mobile device has very different requirements. With limited bandwidth, screen size and time, this service puts information all right in front of you without having to click on multiple links and then find your way back through a convoluted navigation process, as you might have to do on a more conventional mobile search service.  Our goal with this release is to provide a rich set of relevant content for a given query from a number of different categories of results. The new display therefore demonstrates significant vertical integration on the mobile search result page to bring back more direct results. We're already doing this on the web search results pages. For example, you see a shortcut for news or images in addition to web results where it is likely you would be interested in seeing those items.

The search will give related links to mobile web sites and web. The users will also receive immediate answers for movies, business listings, celebrity gossip, news, events information and much more from just one search. If the user searches for any town, lets say 'London,' the search will show local news and traffic and weather information too.

With the three major search engines taking to mobiles so strongly, developments are happening sooner than expected. While Google Mobile has a comfortable lead, Yahoo! and MSN have to fight for their share.
