Yahoo! Will Launch Search Pad to The General Public Tonight

Tonight at 9:00 p.m. PST, Yahoo! will release to the the general public, Search Pad, a note taking feature that will be integrated with their search engine. Search Pad, shown off back in February by Yahoo!, will be similar to Google Notebook. What makes Search Pad different is that it automatically detects if you’re researching about a specific subject, then it pops up a little box asking, if you would like to open Search Pad. If you click “Yes”, the last webpages you researched about that specific subject will be already included. Another thing is that if you copy and paste something into it, Search Pad will automatically detect the source website and will ask you if you want to include it, pretty handy if you’re writing a bibliography. And just as a word processor program, you can add links, copy and paste text, write your own text and even add thumbnails to the page. For a sneak preview, check out the video below:
