Yahoo Shortcuts Plugin for Wordpress [www.ysearchblog.com]


(photo by katechaux)

Yahoo Shortcuts are links to interesting, hopefully related content. Yahoo has released a plugin for the popular blogging platform Wordpress. This plugin scans the content of your post while you write it and shows suggested items to link to. The suggestions can include links to products, companies, Flickr photos, and more. The author always has the option to decide what shortcuts to add in. The plugin is backed by the Yahoo Term Extraction Service.

So far there are no ads in this content from Yahoo. A comprehensive review of the plugin is on Search Engine Journal.

The plugin itself is released with a BSD license. This should allow other people to work on plugins for their favorite platform. The use of the plugin and the results that come from it are licensed with Yahoo's terms of service.
