Best of….Yahoo!
Looks like Yahoo has launched Yahoo BestOf…
Citysearch had popularized the concept of “best of” and even named their product “best of” … even using the URL “http://bestof.citysearch.com” before moving it to “http://best.citysearch.com” … I wonder when MSN’s planned launch will happen?
Yahoo’s implementation is almost exactly the same as Citysearch’s, including the geographies/categories, a few UI implementations (i.e. vote button on search grid), etc…but, overall, I think Yahoo’s implementation is defintely an improvement. For example, I like their vote page better, the fact that they could have a larger set of users submitting to improve trustworthiness, etc.
How long until we see those “Best of Yahoo” window stickers?

Citysearch never integrated it well throughout all aspects and it takes a Cray computer to understand the results.

Actually, that’s true for only the past 2 years…the algorithm/behavior was crystal clear in prior years…but I agree that it was never integrated well. It was always this mini-site that existed on its own.
