Yahoo today unveiled onePlace, a bookmarking tool that lets users keep track of favorite Web topics on their cell phones. Based on using bookmarks to link to any piece of content, onePlace keeps information automatically updated as well as assigns categories and tags. Content is put in customized "collections" that users create - making it easier to find and combine information.
onePlace allows users to stay informed on topics with less work. For example, if a user is planning a holiday to Paris in June, he could create a "Paris" collection, and begin linking it to any information he thinks will be useful to him on his trip: weather conditions, city guides, restaurant reviews, hotel reservations, walking maps, songs of Edith Piaf, English-French dictionaries, winery recommendations, etc.onePlace gives users a single location to consume all of their information contextually, keeping it updated (so they know, for example, if their flight times have changed) and accessible whenever and however they want it. onePlace is designed to include the following features, which will allow consumers to: - Centralized and open content management - Centralize and manage content from anywhere on the Internet, accessible from a single location. The product is also designed to allow consumers to link to any content they've personalized on the Yahoo! network (e.g., MyYahoo!, flickr, del.icio.us), or at other popular websites (e.g., Digg, Last.FM, reddit, Yelp).
- 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 feeds.
- Smart organization - Create a specific topic by grouping content. Yahoo! onePlace is expected to launch in Q2 2008. After its release, onePlace is expected to become available across hundreds of devices and mobile browsers around the world.
