New Beta Test of Yahoo Mail Mobile Offers Searchable E-Mail

Yahoo Mail has always been accessible via Yahoo's Mobile deck but today the company launched a beta of a new mobile mail service. The most notable change in the beta is that your mail is now searchable on your mobile device. Very useful.

You can view the Yahoo Mobile site on any browser at this url and view the Yahoo Mail beta here (assuming you have a Yahoo login). Compare with the current version of Yahoo Mail here.

MSN Mobile is also beta testing a mobile version of Windows Live Mail. Presently, Windows Live Mail Beta does not offer (are we missing the link?) a search function. For updates, see the Live Mail blog.

The mobile version of Gmail at http://m.gmail.com does provide a search option.

AOL's Mobile Portal also offers access to AIM Mail Mobile but mail search is not available.

Yahoo began beta testing Yahoo Photos on their mobile platform a couple of months ago.

In case you don't have Yahoo Mobile, a few screen caps follow:

+ Yahoo Mobile homepage
+ Yahoo Mail Mobile Beta page
+ Search box
+ Search results page
+ List of Actions, Found at Bottom of Each Message

*For the record, these screen caps were taken from a Treo 700P/Sprint using PDA Reach.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
