From thinking pink to planning the perfect trip, here’s what made the cut in this week’s Product Pulse:
- Change colors for the Cure: Join the more than 600,000 others who’ve turned their Yahoo! home page pink in honor of breast cancer awareness month. Then boost your breast cancer IQ on Yahoo! Health and read why Sheryl Crow wants you to take charge of your health with regular checkups.
- Another screen to get the word out: Using Sponsored Search on the Web? Why stop there? Our new Mobile Sponsored Search beta puts your ad links at the fingertips of millions of mobile users.
- What hotel has the best view of the Eiffel Tower?: We’ve spiffed up our Yahoo! Travel Guides to make it easier to unleash your inner Fodor’s. Catalog your travel raves and rants, build a trip plan, write a travel journal, create albums via Flickr, and plot everything on Yahoo! Maps. And then share, share, share.
- Photo hack job: If you haven’t already heard, Yahoo! Photos Web Services API has opened its doors through BBAuth. In English, that means third-party developers can create cool Yahoo! Photos applications that users can access with their regular Yahoo! ID — no need to create yet another username and password. Here’s a screencast. Craving open access to more Yahoo! products and services? Stay tuned…
- Did you say free?: From October 6–13, Yahoo! TV will preview Showtimes’ award-winning original series for free, including “Weeds,” “Dexter,” “Sleeper Cell,” and “The L Word.” Tune back in regularly for your premium TV fix, as we’ll continue to offer previews and clips of more acclaimed Showtime programs.

Ooh, how can you post this question: “What hotel has the best view of the Eiffel Tower?” — and not link us directly to a tantalizing answer with photos and all to prove it? Please…

The ad for the $51,000 mortgage you accepted shows a man’s genitles. What is going on?????

How come on my yahoo homepage under “yahoo full coverage news” it gives a time… my thoughts are this means that the news was updated say 11 minutes ago… but when I click on it… its the same news that was there an hour or more ago…. Also often times the photos in the section will say something like 114 photos but many of them are repeat photos…. this is kind of annoying to say the least… But other than that, great home pages! Keep up the good work!
Sincerely, Russell

Allan: We checked into that ad – it’s a LowerMyBills.com interactive ad with silhouettes of a couple dancing and what you’re seeing is his hands swinging near his thighs as he’s dancing. No family jewels exposed there — phew!
