i was excited just to see more news options and whatnot.
but then i saw the "add" and decided what the hell and tried putting in anandtech forums.
right now im trying to figure out how to get it to show something that isnt hot deals.

Ask Yahoo can be added under the Fun section, is that strange?

my problem seems to be that im not allowed to change the category ID on the link for the "feed"
when i search for anandtech off topic nothing comes us. but anandtech forums only yeilds Hot Deals.

Despite being competitors, yahoo and google are pretty friendly w/each other. Yahoo even helped Google start out way back when. Remember when Yahoo used Google as their web search?

Yahoo had some investment in Google when it started.

google and yahoo seem to be friendly competitors, whereas atm google is a hardcore search engine defining what services they wish to add, and Yahoo is more like a 'webportal' an AOL through a webpage if you will.

google and microsoft however seem to butt heads 😉

Yeah, I do, however, think that Yahoo did a better job with the SMS b/c they send a link to you in the message that takes you to a map and directions on how to get there. Although I think google gives you better results.

a lot of people had that problem.
i looked at the "discussion" and the suggestion was to clear cache. fixed it for me in firefox.
make sure you have the newest firefox for that. apparnetly, IE doesnt have this problem.
