Yahoo launches blogs, news search engine

Various Yahoo rumors are coming furiously from several directions.

First, a new blog search engine, as noted by Steve Rubel, at the (still non-existent) blog.search.yahoo.com. Apparently, there was a Yahoo blog search engine available for some time (but only in Korean) at kr.blog.search.com, but it doesn't seem to work properly? 

Second, John Batelle mentions an interesting announcement from Yahoo, this time about combining blogs, Flickr photos in a single News search, at news.search.yahoo.com. I am quoting the interesting part here:

Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today announced that Yahoo! Search is beta testing a new version of Yahoo! News Search which now includes blogs, Flickr photos and My Web links, available today at https://news.search.yahoo.com. The move to augment professional journalism with grassroots journalism signals Yahoo!’s commitment to fusing mainstream content with user-generated content to give consumers a more complete search experience.....
