It’s hard to imagine a world without our ergonomic keyboards and optical mice, but let’s give a nod to the typewriter ribbon (rest it’s soul) for paving the way 121 years ago. And then check out our inventive updates below.

• Woot woot!: Calling all bargain shoppers to aisle three! Yahoo! Shopping now offers an exclusive “Woot Deal of the Day,” a one-item special that posts at 10 pm PT everyday for 24 hours (it could sell out any time, so don’t dilly dally). You never know what you’re going to get (think gadgets, gizmos, collectibles and more). Already a loyal wooter? Now get two great deals a day since Woot will have a different deal on their site. Read more here.
• Fantasies from the couch: We’ve been offering the fantasy baseball version of Yahoo! Sports for TV for a while now, but now you can also track your fantasy football league while you’re watching the game on the boob tube. The best part? The service is free! So get comfortable! Watch the game, check multiple game stats, and track your league – all without leaving the sofa! One catch: You need a Windows-based PC (with Windows Media Center Edition, Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate). Read more here.
• Nissan, Yahoo!, and MTV: Missed your favorite artist on Nissan Live Sets on Yahoo! Music? Make sure to catch them again on MTV Networks’ Music High-Definition channel every month as a 30 minute concert segment (including interviews with fans). First up: Rascall Flatts on Monday, September 17. Check out the full listing here.
• Not your daddy’s cricket: Twenty20, a juiced up version of cricket (each team bats 20 overs a side and the innings last 80 minutes each) is in full swing (ends September 24). So read, see, hear all the action on the tournament microsite powered by Yahoo! India to get the exclusive cricketing news, views, and match updates straight from the ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa.

Hi there,

Let’s have more 20-20 Cricket coverage please. We don’t get enough cricket coverage on the internet, so maybe this baseball style limited overs slug-fest will appeal to a wider audience.

Cheers
