Yandex: No Query Is an Island
June 7, 2013
Well, almost. If a child is the victim of a snake bite, the doctor wants to query a system and get specific information to save the victim. I am not sure if in some search situations an offer for a vacation trip to Belize is a plus.
Nevertheless, Yandex, the Google nemesis in certain European countries and one of my go to resources, is now offering an “island” service. Here’s the explanation:
Yandex’s new search results page consists of interactive blocks — islands. These blocks are the first step to the user’s search goal and can be anything from factual information to purchase buttons or order forms. Yandex Islands give website owners a chance to directly connect with their visitors, while web users can instantly see and choose the best and most relevant solution to their problem.
Give the service a spin.
