Yahoo introduced its Internet search system, called oneSearch™, developed for mobile phones on March 20, 2007. The company’s officials stated that in distinction from ordinary Web searches, Yahoo’s new service presents a list of actual information, which may include: news headlines, images from Yahoo’s Flickr photos site, business listings, local weather and links to other sites. Instead of showing only, for example, popular movies or some critical reviews, oneSearch lists local theaters that at the moment are playing a certain movie, user ratings and news headlines regarding the movie. A zip code or city name is required for Yahoo oneSearch to start delivering local search results. The results of a Web search are listed on a single page and are prioritized into categories. The list of results is based on calculations that Yahoo computers make on certain information the user is seeking. (Source: Wikipedia)

Manic engaged me to build this demo which they had designed for Yahoo!. I received a brief and visuals and produced the fully working demo using Adobe Flash and Actionscript 2.0. The demo included an automatic slide show which is user-navigable. The demo accurately demonstrates the user-experience of using Yahoo!’s oneSearch product on a mobile device. It walks through activities such as web search, checking the weather, movie ratings, stock information and more.

The demo has been used at various trade shows such as the recent CommunicAsia here in Singapore. I was there and was thrilled to see my work on display in front of thousands of trade professionals.
