    Yahoo and Google announced a collaborative Sitemaps

    IMPORTANT: Sitemaps.org Yahoo and Google announced a collaborative site called Sitemaps. (Due to start very soon!, 18 Nov 2006 I, believe)

    Watch this Video.

    A single way to submit sitemaps to both Google and Yahoo.

    Not only are Google and Yahoo collaborating on this project, they’ve also issued an open invitation to the other search engines willing to join. Microsoft accepted that invitation and will jointly support Sitemaps.org and its efforts.

    Maybe this is just the start of them working together, although they will be keeping to their own search algorithms for now :0

    Definitely in favor of this. Less headache for webmasters everywhere. The timing of it also seems to be a reaction to Microsoft Live. Google and Yahoo will have to work together in some capacity to keep Gates down.

    It will also be interesting to see if this collaboration bleeds over into their algorithms. One might expect Yahoo and Google to unify more closely on mark-up standards and submission guidelines.
