My Yahoo! Blog

Over 150,000 New Icons

I wonder if it bothered you as much as it bothered me that so much of the content in the My Yahoo! Content Gallery did not have a unique icon associated with it. Every time I clicked on “Add Content” and did a search, most of the content coming back had a generic icon. I want my content searching more sexy and fun. Give me a logo! Give me an image! Make it tasty!

So we went ahead and added over 150,000 new icons to the content database. When you do your search for “apple” to find out about the latest on the rumored Apple Tablet or top iTunes songs or for “book reviews” to find that perfect gift for the holidays, you’ll see new icons show up next to content.

Apps showcased in this post:

• Add Yahoo! News: Apple/Macintosh News
• Add iTunes Top 10 Songs
• Add Powell’s Books: Review-A-Day
