The Yahoo Search Blog announced that Yahoo will be discontinuing MyWeb, a way to save search results or other Yahoo data to a single location. MyWeb launched in 2005, as part of Yahoo's vision for a "very individual Web."
On March 18, 2009, the service will be closed down. Yahoo is asking you to switch to either Yahoo Bookmarks or Delicious and explains how to export or migrate your data to these services.

Inbox 2.0: Vision And Perhaps Confusion At Google And Yahoo
Nov 14, 2007 at 9:23am ET by Greg Sterling
A much discussed blog posting this morning comes from Saul Hansell at the New York Times, who spoke to both Google and Yahoo about their plans to turn their email products into social networks, in a manner of speaking: "Inbox 2.0." The plans discussed in the post suggest some clever and creative thinking about how both companies can leverage their existing products and integrate them with other properties. But people at both companies also seem to be in a kind of frenzy, which may turn out to be unjustified in the long run, over how to compete with Facebook.

Google Offers ‘Themes’ For Personalized Homepage
Mar 20, 2007 at 12:54am ET by Greg Sterling
There's a flurry of activity in the newly invigorated personalized homepage category. Within the past two weeks all the major competitors have made announcements.

The designs are not yet live on the site so I'm unable to link to them (here's a screen capture from CNET).
Google is ini [...]
