Comment Use it, Then Comment. (Score 1) 129

I notice the following patterns on the negative comments here on slashdot.

  • CMD+F does the same thing (which btw it doesn't)
  • Google has Select/Query integration in Firefox by default and is therefore not original
  • Same as Google's Similar Pages

I recommend that all of the people spouting these types of comments check out all the flavors and implementations of Y!Q. To summarize, the first three of these four have not really been talked about in this forum (or just barely scratched). You're missing a glaring 75% of the features:

  1. on Yahoo! News (click on the Search Related Info form button)
  2. on any Web page (a demo toolbar)
  3. on your own site (put the aforementioned functionality in #1 on your own site)
  4. in Firefox (utilizes contexual menu functionalty; much like what's already there)

Additionally, from the Y!Q results page, you can "peel" superflouous search criteria to narrow down to what you are looking for.

I encourage everyone commenting on this release to actually read about and use it, so you can all know what you've been commenting about. I'm all in favor of poking holes in things, but at least know what you're poking.
