Yahoo! Search - Creative Commons Search

Monday, March 28th, 2005

Yahoo is fighting back! Instead of Google coming up with something new, this time it’s yahoo with their Creative Commons Search.
This search engine allows you to search for media files (either text/images/sounds/whatever) which are under the Creative Commons License.

In short, this license often allows you to use the media for own use, and sometimes even commecially. Which is why it got my attention :)

Happy hunting!

Toys for boys!

People seem to do this because of ‘privacy issues’, however, I wonder how many people realize that they need to relogin on their favorite websites too when deleting these cookies. The risks of cookies are overhyped, I for one never delete them. It really screws up your surfing experience when you delete them that often…
