Yahoo onePlace personalizes information management

Yahoo unveiled a new service, onePlace, that allows users to organize web content from the mobile phone or any Internet-connected device. The service was unveiled at Hannover, Germany during the CeBit technology show [Source].

So what does onePlace do that makes it interesting for the Digital Nomad?

Essentially onePlace allows it users to do the following:

1) bookmark web content,

2) and let them be organized by categories that are searchable

3) Web content selected are automatically updated

4) The user can define how the content are to be displayed

Or as the Yahoo Press Statement said -

Yahoo! onePlace is designed to include the following features, which will allow consumers to:

– Centralized and open content management – Centralize and manage all
the content they care about, from anywhere on the Internet,
accessible from a single location and arranged to best meet their
preferences. The product is also designed to allow consumers to link
to any favorite content they’ve already personalized on the Yahoo!
network (e.g., MyYahoo!(R), flickr(TM), del.icio.us(R)), or at other
popular websites (e.g., Digg(R), Last.FM(R), reddit(TM), Yelp(R)).
– Personalized views – Enjoy their content based on their specific
needs:
— Collections – Group content in a way that makes sense. For
example, create a collection related to an upcoming trip, or of
favorite 80s bands.
— Categories – Organize content according to commonly-used
subjects (e.g., celebrities, local businesses, sports), making it
easy to access and retrieve.
— Pulse – Stream updates relevant to users’ content, such as
flight status changes, new songs by a favorite music artist, or a
restaurant review.
— Favorites – Surface the content a consumer uses most
frequently.
– Dynamic updates – See previews for selected sources that are kept
fresh throughout the day – giving users a single location for a view
of what’s going on across their world.

onePlace – providing a simple way to read and subscribe to their
favorite feeds.
