Your Local Tags, Collections & Photos
Are you ready to shoot, tag, upload, and collect? The latest Yahoo Local features - released today - will allow our users to start organizing their world in a whole new way. Here’s how:
- Everyone gets tags – well – maybe not everyone, but anyone who’s reading this blog. We think tagging is a great way for users to organize Local content for themselves, and for everyone else.
- While tags may just say one word, pictures say a thousand words! Now you can upload photos into any local content. Show the world what food you’re eating, or how good that plumber’s service really is.
- If a picture says a thousand words, how many might a collection say? Collections are groupings of anything you want….could be California Beach Towns…could be Seattle Sites and Sounds…could be Chicago’s Cuisine Scene. We think this is going to be a great way for you get even more out of Yahoo! Local.
Bringing it all together, a new “Dashboard” helps you get back to saved ratings & reviews or collections. The dashboard also gives recommendations on places you might like based on your existing ratings & reviews.
Go ahead try it out and let us know what you think.

I would like to use (and to enjoy) the new Yahoo! Local but searching for Germany (in Europe) only finds Germany, GA
The german Yahoo! Local still uses map24 as map service and doesn’t know about tags, collections and all the other fancy things.
Is there a roadmap for offering those goodies to other countries than US?

[…] Besides others we met Vince Maniago, Rodney Fernandez, Michael Lawless, Frederique Dame and Mark Law. It was great getting some insights about what is going on regarding local within Yahoo! US / some was announced and went live /. We had some fun time too, visiting San Francisco and playing golf. […]

[…] Yahoo tends to make fewer, but bigger, announcements. Like this one in September of a host of new Local Search tools and features. They’ve been pretty quiet since then. […]

Good comment. It brought light to an old idea I had.
