Are you ready to shoot, tag, upload, and collect? The latest Yahoo Local features - released today - will allow our users to start organizing their world in a whole new way. Here’s how:

• Everyone gets tags ‚Äì well ‚Äì maybe not everyone, but anyone who’s reading this blog. We think tagging is a great way for users to organize Local content for themselves, and for everyone else.


• While tags may just say one word, pictures say a thousand words! Now you can upload photos into any local content. Show the world what food you’re eating, or how good that plumber’s service really is.


• If a picture says a thousand words, how many might a collection say? Collections are groupings of anything you want‚Ķ.could be California Beach Towns‚Ķcould be Seattle Sites and Sounds‚Ķcould be Chicago’s Cuisine Scene. We think this is going to be a great way for you get even more out of Yahoo! Local.

Bringing it all together, a new “Dashboard” helps you get back to saved ratings & reviews or collections. The dashboard also gives recommendations on places you might like based on your existing ratings & reviews.

Go ahead try it out and let us know what you think.
