On the front page you will now be introduced to "Top Tags" (displayed as a tag cloud) and a list of "Interesting Today" bookmarks. Sadly, the brilliant yellow motif we saw in the Analysts Day presentation has stuck with no way for users to change it (yet?). As I mentioned earlier, there will be days when it's just too early to see that.
Back to functionality, you can now easily conduct a global search by tag and you can also limit the search to yours or your contacts saved pages. With the global tag search, you benefit from the surf-n-save efforts of your fellow My Web users and will see the most relevant sites assigned to that tag as a result. As an added bonus you will also be provided a list of users who are using the tag you searched for (potential like-minded My Web contacts!).Want to build your list and export it elsewhere or at least know you have the option? With this version you have the ability to export your bookmarks. The export feature presents you with an HTML page with links, descriptions and tags which you can save from your browser.
My Web just became much more social and community configured. The more people who use it, the more valuable it all becomes. Come and get it!
ps... My Yahoo still refuses to accept the My Web RSS feed. Meh.
1. I'm surprised they haven't implemented the same "pick your colour" idea currently available in the yahoo.com homepage. I quite like the yellow one, actually.
Export - not much use as I'd like to export MyWeb to Yahoo's other property of del.icio.us and give it a go. Not sure why they aren't looking at merging them both, perhaps under the name del.icio.us as its a more recognised brand in social bookmarking. Ditto for Flickr and Yahoo Photos, in that regard.
