Yahoo is Catching Up to Google's Sitemap Tool
Yahoo has recently posted more details about their "Site Explorer" tool which heavily resembles Google's "Sitemaps" Tool. They have added new features.
Some of the new features that will be implemented on Yahoo's Site Explorer include the following:
1. More information about sites you own, including:
a. Last Crawled Date and Language for your Site URLs
b. Subdomains of your site
2. Feed submissions are much smoother. You can submit RSS, Atom and URL lists, and manage all of them from one place. For authenticated sites, you can also track when they were submitted and processed.
3. UpdateNotification Web Service to notify us of feed or site updates, part of the suite of Site Explorer APIs you already know and love. Since these return the same data as the tool, we recommend using them for automated applications.
