Collaborative Search

Unfortunately, I haven’t been using any IM clients recently due to the fact that their usage is banned and blocked where I work (more on that sometime).

Anyway, it was intriguing to read via Jeremy Zawodny Blog about Yahoo’s new IMVironment (e.g. plug-in) for its Messenger client that allows users to search collaboratively.

“Pull up a map or yellow pages listing together instantly. Working with a colleague in another city? Search together in real time for info, images, news…”

Hmmm, it does seem like an obvious feature. I’ll have to check it out, but not at the office ;-)
