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.
