Yahoo! Does PDFs & Cool

Yahoo! has several changes today. First, it has begun adding PDF and other non-HTML file format documents to both its directory and its Google-powered "Web Pages" search results. In both cases, the other file formats are identified with a (PDF) designation after the title. The Google results are the same kind of hits that might show up at Google, but the Yahoo! directory entries are new. See K-12 Curriculum, Tajikistan maps, and Cabbage for examples.

Yahoo! also announced the return of the cool sunglasses to identify editors' top picks. I hadn't even noticed that they were gone. See an example in Amusement Parks.
