Yahoo Discontinues MyWeb, Pushes Delicious

Feb 13, 2009 at 2:19pm ET by Barry Schwartz

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.

May I dare ask, is Yahoo is finally working on their peanut butter problems?
