This Week in the Yahoo! Directory - January 15, 2009

Hello, Directory fans! Once more, it’s time to take a look at all the exciting happenings in the Yahoo! Directory -- the world’s favorite source for aggregated and categorized Internet information for more than a tenth of a century. Today, though, we’re changing our focus a little. In past installments of this feature, we’ve focused on the past; that is to say, things we’ve recently added. But, just for a change of pace, we’re going to put on our swami hats and predict the things you’ll be looking at in the future. We may not be Kreskins or Criswells, but we think our crystal ball is pretty accurate. Of immediate interest is next week’s inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama. We’re always on the lookout for information about inaugural activities, as well as what to do in Washington D.C. once the dust has settled, and you’ll find it all here. And, hey, the NFL playoffs are proceeding apace, and you can find everything you want about all the teams, players, and odds. (Personally, we’re rooting for the Steelers, but you can learn about the other teams, too.) With the Super Bowl around the corner, you’ll be wanting to know about the ads -- and what to cook for your parties, won’t you? And it’s almost prom season, isn’t it? Now, our own prom was more than a few years ago, but we know the gals will be trying to find the latest and hottest fashions and hairstyles, won’t they? And fellas, don’t forget, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner -- you’d better have tips on gifts and things to do -- if you know what’s good for you, that is. (And for guys without a Valentine’s date, well, there’s always the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue …) Awards season is in full swing, and with the Oscars, Grammys, and even the Westminster Dog Show -- coming up, you’ll want to have all that information about nominees and winners at your virtual fingers, won’t you? So, come on into the Yahoo! Directory; the info’s fine -- and you’ll be proud to be the most informed surfer on the block. Suggested Sites... Yahoo! Directory: Super Bowl Commercials - from "1984" to the "GoDaddy" girl, they're all here. Yahoo! Directory: Prom and Homecoming - they're getting closer, after all. Yahoo! Directory: Valentine's Day - sweets for the sweet. Yahoo! Directory: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue - we buy it strictly for the articles. Yahoo! Directory: Dog Shows - canines on parade.
