Yahoo Adds Voice Commands To Mobile Search

Today Yahoo unveiled new features for its' oneSearch mobile search service including the ability to search using voice commands.   This article from Yahoo Finance describes the new features and explains briefly the concept of "semantic web" search. 

"Semantic web" is a term you should know.  If you're not familiar with this term, check out the semantic web page on Wikipedia or other web resources so you can quickly get up to speed. 

As stated on the Wikipedia page: "The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that they can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web." 

In other words, search and a lot of other online functions are going to be much more powerful and effective in the future and Yahoo's rolling out these new features today is an example of this trend and provides a glimpse of where we are headed.
