Prepare to discover, engage, and share digital experiences like never before. Today we are launching a handful of new mobile, tablet, and PC experiences that get us closer to our promise of delivering a “personal Web” for you. Every new product, from the new Livestand and IntoNow iPad apps to Yahoo! Weather on Android devices, delivers a highly personalized experience within a rich, beautifully designed and compelling format.
Here’s what we’ve been up to:
A personalized living magazine just for you -- Livestand for iPad is here: Livestand weaves together content from leading third-party publishers and Yahoo!'s global media network to create a visually stunning and deeply personalized digital experience tailored for you and your interests and passions. Whether it's presenting the latest recipes, timely tweets, breaking news, or blog posts, Livestand brings you the content you care about like you’ve never seen before. Check out the video below, read more here, or better yet, visit the App Store and download Livestand for free today.
The perfect companion for your TV – IntoNow for iPad: IntoNow makes TV-watching more engaging, social, and fun with one touch of a button. Like magic, IntoNow automatically identifies what you're watching – whether live or recorded – and displays related content and personalized recommendations on what to watch. It also lets you have conversations with friends who are watching the same shows, and follow Twitter feeds of actors and athletes on TV. It’s available today for free download in the App Store.
Today’s forecast is sunny with a touch of Flickr – Yahoo! Weather for Android: The new Yahoo! Weather app brings weather to life with beautiful photos that correspond with where you are, what the weather’s like, and what time of day it is. All the photos are from the Flickr community, with a crowdsourcing effort launching at http://flickr.com/projectweather to create a global-weather image library. The app is available as a free download in the Android Market in 35 languages and 63 countries.
A fresh way to look at email – Yahoo! Mail for iPad browser – Yahoo! Mail gives you a rich, vivid entry point on your iPad Web browser for viewing unread emails from your contacts, as well as customized local weather, trending video content, and personalized news. Read more here or head to mail.yahoo.com from any iPad to try it out.
Get your social on while reading the news – Conversations and Notifications on Yahoo!: A couple of new social features expand upon the Yahoo! News activity we launched last month to give you more ways to connect, communicate, and get updates from your friends. Want to chat about a story you’re reading? The Conversations feature lets you have small group conversations within Yahoo! News. The new Notifications feature will inform you of new social activity of interest across Yahoo! – such as feedback on reviews, responses to comments, or new conversations with friends. Both Conversations and Notifications will be available in the coming weeks.
Cutting-edge platform with a splash of lime – Cocktails: Livestand is built upon Cocktails, a powerful open platform for developers and publishers that uses many of Yahoo!’s popular developer tools such as YUI and YQL. Read more about this new platform offering here.
Unmatched creative canvas for advertising: Yahoo! continues to evolve its advertising experiences to creatively engage with audiences and tell their stories. Read more about Yahoo!’s new tablet and social advertising offerings here.
