There IS a similar solution from Yahoo...
A free, bulk URL submission option for Yahoo was first presented at the recent Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose from Yahoo's Tim Mayer during a session on indexing. Previously, web sites were discovered for the organic search results by the Slurp web crawler or by submitting one URL at a time. Now Yahoo offers the option of submitting many URLs at once using Yahoo's free submission service at http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request.
Registration for a Yahoo account is required, but free.
Here's how it works: Create a list of all the URLs you want indexed in a text file and name it something like, urllist.txt (Yahoo's suggestion). You can also provide a compressed file and call it urllist.gz. Example: http://www.domainname.com/urllist.txt .
If you are providing a plain text list of URLs to Google Sitemaps, then you can use that same file for Yahoo.
Place the file in the main directory of your web site and submit the URL to the Yahoo free submission form at: http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request.
There is additional information at the page..
Hope that helps...
