My Web BETA – Interesting Today – Yahoo!

Yahoo! MyWeb 2.0 Beta is one of the services I like the most, and it just had an overhaul. Long long ago, it went from 1.0 to 2.0, now this is an update within 2.0

Changes? The minor one is the color scheme; it’s a very soothing yellow combination. Of late, Yahoo! was using too much of blue and green (Yahoo! Answers [this is no longer in beta, by the way] and Yahoo! Tech for example). The most major change though is the new ‘Interesting Today’ feature, which gives a selection of highly viewed public links by other as a recommendation.

Save more than 5000 pages here, and then they promise a sneaky way to store upto 9000 too.

Google Toolbar makes it to the list of one of the few useful & trusted application(s), that net users around the world love to integrate their web-browser with. And why shouldn’t it be the case? With such a simple design and many a tools-that-you-can’t-live-without-with, this naturally makes it the preferred choice among all the web-page hoppers.
Needless to say, it’s free, and safe. It is detected neither as an Adware, nor a SpyWare from all the recommended apllications that you can hope to see around – Microsoft Anti-Spyware, Norton Anti-Virus-2006, Yahoo Anti-Spyware. An easy Un-install button also adds to the programs ecstacy. It has got an enhanced Search Box and skins to work out with. It’s Auto-Update feature also keeps out of worries of being outdated(at least, regarding the ToolBar). Easy Clearing of History also, is an expected yet important feature of this Bar.

Host of services that it offers in alpha order is –
– AutoFill
– Autolink
– Highlight Toggler
– Search(tad obvious)
– Spell Check
– Subscription to Feeds
– Link to it’s GMail service
– Page-Rank
– News

Although this program has nothing negative to it’s credit, but being not as exhaustive & stylish from it’s rival Yahoo! ToolBar deducts it’s ratings.

My Take: 8.5/10
