So as some of you may know Yahoo has been working on a tool for teachers for a little bit now. As many more of you know Yahoo is a big, heavy duty, Internet company whose homepage delivers a ridiculous amount of traffic to those sites and links that have the good fortune of being on that page.

Yahoo presented its Yahoo Teachers tool at the recent TechCrunch40 and according to the folks of TechCrunch it was a pretty neat product for teachers. They even introduced a new feature called Gobbler which sucks content from the web into your lesson plan.

The net net for PlansForUs is that we took notice, but the proof is in the pudding, and that pudding won’t come out till 4th quarter or early 2008. I also still wonder why everyone wants to add so much stuff on to these apps. I think that simplicity may still rule the day, at least that’s Google’s lesson to us. The net net for teachers is that this is great as building lessons efficiently and increasing the fun your students are having in the classroom is great. Competition also brings out the best in everyone, so expect PlansForUs to continue to work our butts off to make you love us more than Yahoo.
Back to work.
