Yahoo Registers Meal Search Patent
Bill Slawski, of SEO by The Sea, has uncovered another patent filing. This time Yahoo is applying for a patent for meal search technology. Bill's article gives a much better interpretation than I ever could and should be read.
The interesting parts include technology that ties photo recognition to meals and ingredients and places to buy either the meal or the ingredients to make them.
The details Bill gives shows the scope of what is planned and it definitely covers a lot of work for some of the Yahoo programmers in the near future.
With thinking outside the usual search box, Yahoo may have come across the best way to meet Google in the search arena. They are suggesting a whole new potential for search.
And yes I will have fried with that!
