I received an interesting email from our Yahoo friends in Australia. It appears that, as a result of a Hack Day project, they’ve created a customized search engine that allows you to select your own content options and offers a nifty interface.
It’s currently pulling results from Yahoo!7 (their Australian unit) and the customization is a little limited, but it has the potential to be Yahoo’s answer to Google Co-op.

That looks pretty cool.. I’m glad to see someone else trying to take on Google Co-Op.. not that I don’t like Google – I just think the competition is healthy.

Looks pretty nifty. The technology I mean, not the skin, I suppose you can layer anything you want on it.
As EW says, nice to see someone giving one aspect of Google some sort of a challenge.
