Yahoo! Tech: Reviews, help, and how-to advice for buying and using personal electronics : Yahoo! Tech

Yahoo has opened a new site today, called Yahoo Tech. The site is: tech.yahoo.com/

They describe it as: Yahoo! Tech: Reviews, help, and how-to advice for buying and using personal electronics.


At first glance, it is sort of like just another epinions site.

However, there is more to it. It does into some of the other Yahoo holdings as well.

• Yahoo Answers - for asking/answering questions about the product
• Yahoo Shopping - for finding best prices on a product
• Yahoo Profiles - for seeing who wrote the review

The web site is also a social web site. It offers users a chance to do reviews, ratings, and so forth.

It also lets them save products for future reference. Thus, users have some control of their environment and even a little workspace for themselves.

Later, they can see these saved things at: http://tech.yahoo.com/my



Some commands (like Save) do not require the whole page to be changed. So, with the social features, the site really does seem like a Web 2.0 website.

In short, the new site really is modern - and it draws on the foundation of the existing Yahoo sites which have relevence.
