Gosh, Darwin Magazine is always so darn good: Are You Ready for Social Software? - explains social software in a manageable way.

The new Yahoo! companion search tool bar thingie offers a bunch of stuff like pop-up blocking, search within site, highlight search term and the usual Yahoo! stuff like access to calendar, bookmarks and mail, but what *I* like is the right click access to search. Now I search on everything like crazy-- love it!

(I feel like such a ho, but I love it!)

BTW, I never noticed I had google access in my rightclick until I took the screenshot. What a difference a bit of white space, and icon and a good call to action make. "google search" vs. "Search the web for term" are day and night apart in clarity.
