Yahoo Opens Up

Yahoo is doing a big thing today. It's starting to link to outside sources. A large appeal to Yahoo is that it suggests content to read or watch. It's built whole areas of interests like Yahoo Finance, Yahoo News, or its new Yahoo OMG enertainment site. These links have one thing in common... The content is produced by Yahoo!

Not anymore. Yahoo can now link to anything (at least anything selected by the editors).

Will this make Yahoo more competitive? Is it ignoring the trend toward letting users rank content and the higher ranks get the spotlight (Like Digg)?

Only time will tell.
