Yahoo has quietly added a Photo app into Yahoo Mail. This photo app brings all photos, received or sent in emails, at one place. You can easily browse all photos and share them with friends.
Users can easily filter photos by date, time, sender, size and folder. It shows all the image results in thumbnails. This app is added into your Yahoo Mail application section automatically. By default this app shows the most recent photos used in recent emails. But users can sort according to various given filters.
Users can also share these photos with friends in two ways. First is share via email and other method is share via Flickr. In first method, it will send all images to your friend's inbox. Inseconf method, it will upload images to your Flickr account and then send the link of album to friends.
To share photos with any method, select photo and then click on share button at top. Then select the way you want to share. If you do not have any Flickr account, create one.
Yahoo has also jumped into the browser's market with its new mobile browser Axis. This mobile browser is available for iPhone and iPad from Apple App Store. For desktops, it is available as a plug-in for IE, Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
According to Ethan Batraski, head of product for the Search Innovation Group at Yahoo, this mobile browser is not only a browser. It is a seach tool with in-built browser. This search tool is different from the search engine. It does not shows the results in the form of links. When you will search something with this, 80 perecent of time you will 80 percent of time, you will see horizontal display of Web page thumbnails. Other 20 percent of time you get text boxes with results in them. By showing results in the form of thumbnails, it aims to improve user experience and make the surfing fast.
This browser also took social sharing seriously and added a feature to share web pages with friends. Users can share any web page with their friends on Twitter, email or Pinterest. But there is no option to share pages on Facebook which seems something srange with the browser.
This time the browser is only available for iOS platform, but company is working on Android, windows phone and metro version of the browser. Metro version of the browser will be used in the windows phone 8 mobile operating system.
Mobile browser is not a new concept, but the way it is trying to change the search is different step in the search market. This new concept makes it a strong mobile product with new concept of search.
