The Exclamation Point on Yahoo

Monday, Jul. 16 2007 | Author: Tiago

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

What is so special about the exclamation point on Yahoo?

Yahoo Logo

Intructions:

1. Turn on the speakers
2. Raise the volume
3. Head over to Yahoo
4. Click on the exclamation point located near the logo
5. ?

Does anyone know when did they add this new “feature” of the yahooooooo sound?

It is strange, unique, different from all the other search engines (can’t imagine Google or MSN doing something similar), but in the end it is pleasing and I can’t stop clicking the damn exclamation point.

PS – please excuse my paintbrush skills (arrow) on the yahoo logo but I had a point to make.

Share and Enjoy

There was even a lawsuit regarding the use of it.

That’s news to me, and I’m old enough to remember navigating the Yahoo! directory tree (pre-search). You know, the old days. Like, nine years ago.
