New Yahoo bookmarking service aimed at mobile phones05.03.2008 02:31 Computers Internet search giant Yahoo unveiled Tuesday a new layer to its search service for mobile phones, allowing users to gather "smart" bookmarks in "One Place" to websites across the Web. Marco Boerries, an executive vice president of the US company, also said at the CeBIT trade show in Hanover, Germany that Yahoo would usher in Italian, Spanish and other European local versions of its flagship Go 3.0 search service for mobiles by summer.
He said at present Yahoo search services were available to 600 million mobile phone users worldwide. Go 3.0, the most advanced version of the mobile interface, is currently available in the United States only. Its spread to the main European nations was set for completion by the end of the second quarter, the company said. Boerries denied the latest enhancements to mobile-phone searching, widely seen as the next big money-earning opportunity on the internet, had any connection to the takeover offer for Yahoo by US software group Microsoft. He said Yahoo worked to bring out innovations as fast as possible. "CeBIT is a great time," he said. The timing had nothing to do with the "unsolicited" bid. He had nothing to say about that.
