"Yahoo! Shortcuts is about providing users with the information desired at the precise moment they want it — from instant satisfaction of a passing curiosity to the ability to gain a deeper understanding of current events. We are just getting started with Yahoo! Shortcuts and, as always, we welcome your feedback in the comments below. Which websites would you like to see Yahoo! Shortcuts deployed to? Any ideas for what content we could include in Yahoo! Shortcuts that would make you say "Wow!"? The floor is open."

Information is available on a variety of subjects like Airport Information, Airline Registration Information, Dictionary Definitions, Encyclopedia Lookup, Exchange Rates, Flight Tracker, Gas Prices, Hotel Finder, ISBN Numbers, Local Search, Maps, Movie Showtimes, News, Packages, Patents, Sports Scores etc.

Yahoo! Shortcuts first began with Yahoo! Mail, which quickly followed with Yahoo! Finance, Yahoo! Travel and Yahoo! News in the most recent times.
