Yahoo Glue ! = backdoor entry to Google search results ?


Yahoo Glue pages has been launched in India. So what are these Glue pages ? Glue pages unites classic search results with visual information from website anywhere in the world. Some people have gone on to describe glue pages as back door entry to Google search results.

Here is what Gopal Krishna, Head of Audience , has to say about Glue pages :

"Searching on Glue Pages Beta will result in an experience that promises more than just web links. Users will receive more relevant, visually appealing search results from across the Web in one topical page. The new Glue Pages Beta feature for Yahoo! India Search supports our strategy to make Yahoo! the starting point on the Internet and demonstrates our commitment to provide a compelling online search experience."

From my first impression, you get everything about what you are searching for from wikipedia, flickr, youtube, Yahoo! news, Google blogs etc etc ... on the same page.
