First, a quick review. Mobile access can info can get complicated.
First, the main Yahoo.com mobile web site at http://wap.oa.yahoo.com, looks no different. The same services, same features that were in place yesterday. Included are beta versions of Yahoo photos, mail, and addresses. We are also continuing to occasionally see ads at the top of the page. Right now, we are seeing an ad for Cellfire (free mobile coupons). ResourceShelf first pointed out these types of links (they are not listed as sponsored links) about two weeks ago. Btw, we are accessing on the Sprint network.
+ Yahoo Go 2.0 mobile
New Yahoo Mobile software will come "pre-loaded" on Motorola, Nokia, Samsung Electronics and Research In Motion (Blackberry) devices. It appears that those who use Treo's on the Palm platform will have to wait.
+ According to the news release, the Yahoo Go 2.0 will be preloaded onto phones in more than 60 countries. Samsung is first out of the gate releasing the SGH-E570 with the Yahoo search software (Yahoo Go and Yahoo onesearch).
But wait, Google has announced today that they're also working with Samsung and releasing a suite of their software on Samsung phones.
+ Yahoo is also touting how the software will offer "instant answers" not just links. Results will be grouped by subject. Mobile clustering? Ask.com's mobile site (no download required) offers its Zoom-related search features.
+ Also part of the software will be e-mail, messenger, personal information. As you'll see on this screen cap of the mobile site as of today, most of these services are already available.
+ OK, so you're not about to go out and get a new mobile phone or device. Can you still get access to Yahoo Go Mobile? This page has a checklist of phones that can load the program in the U.S. and Canada. If you're in Europe, review this page. Another way of checking is by entering your mobile number into the boxes on the right-side of this page OR by going to http://m.yahoo.com and seeing if the software will begin to load. More here.
Yahoo also has posted an updated page about web access to their mobile service. According to this page, Yahoo! Go will be "coming soon" to Yahoo! Mobile Web. Yahoo's SMS search feature remains available.
Other search and mobile companies offer software clients and other features. Here are a few examples:
+ AOL Mobile offers web search and a bunch of beta features including Moviefone listings, CityGuides. Also look for links to mobile MapQuest, AIM, and AIM pages (AOL's social network) site.

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.
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?
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.
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?
