Less Cutting and Pasting – More Maps and Local in Yahoo! Mail
The Yahoo! elves have been hard at work in their toy shop for the Holiday season to bring you a nice little integration of Maps, Local, Mail and Search.
Users of Yahoo! Mail (classic version only at this time) can now do more with the content in their email. When mousing over any address or location (including international cities) a quick click on the purple underlined terms will bring up an instant map or satellite image, business information, driving directions and a slew of other options relating to that location. The new Shortcuts lets you do all this without ever having to leave your message or open a new browser window.
It’s a very handy new trick for those that don’t like to do a lot of cutting and pasting.
This not only works for addresses, but there is also additional information available for a variety of other items in the messages (phone numbers, key phrases, email addresses…etc). You can also disable this… but why would you want to?
Happy Holidays
The Yahoo! elves and Jeremy Kreitler

How about bringing the Yahoo! Maps to my Pocket PC? I am right now using the Wonderful Yahoo! Go and just love it as it brings my mail, address book, calendar, tasks, movies, news, sports, weather to my phone.
But for maps and driving directions, I currently use the Java based Google Maps for mobile. Although nice, but would be great if I can have yahoo maps in a similar form (may be flash based instead of Java) with its feature like multi point routing, etc.
I Love Yahoo!

Why is it soooo dificult to get to my site managment page?
I have several web sites with Yahoo Web Hosting, yet no way to get from that page to the page that allowes me to manage and edit my Yahoo Local sites.
This is VERY AGRIVATING. It is so ligical to me that I should be able to do this.
PLEASE, MAKE THIS POSSIBEL.

As it is now, the only way I can reach my controle page on Local is by going to my “Favorates” on my HOME computer. How exasperating!!!
