Save, annotate, and tag the web - then share that value with your community; My Web 2.0 Beta opened for business this evening.
If you consider applications like Flickr, del.icio.us, and Technorati valuable pieces of your web toolbox, then you'll feel right at home with My Web 2.0.
The Yahoo! team that put this together did a great job (and that includes a cross-platform Toolbar for Firefox.)
I hope to have a more in depth review when I've recovered from Gnomedex and caught up on my Mozilla workload. It's a very interesting service and I can see some great opportunities for Firefox extensions or Greasemonkey scripts (using the Yahoo My Web API) to start layering these community created semantics on top of the live web.

Posted by: minghong on June 28, 2005 10:03 PMThat's kind of the point of having your search constrained to a social network. Unless you're friends with spammers. :)
Thanks Asa! Great to meet you, and hope to see you again soon.
Posted by: Caterina Fake on June 28, 2005 10:56 PMThat's mostly just a copy of the furl.net, but Yahoo has better brand and ability to integrate with search.
Now whether I will switch to yahoo? Good question. Surely not for some time. I have some value of my stored items on furl, and I think that at this moment they still have larger activity than Yahoo, which is important for the social features.

Posted by: Alex on June 30, 2005 06:04 AMAs anyone found a way to install the Yahoo toolbar in the nightly builds? All I get is this error: ("0.5b" is not a valid version string)...
Thanks

Posted by: Rishi on June 30, 2005 07:38 PMquit talking about stupid crap no one cares about, and instead, tell us useful firefox stuff, such as when are deer park 1a & FF 1.05 being released?
if we need to know about gnomecrap, or the stars, or cats, we will go to alternate websites

Read the title, let it sink in, and move if you disapprove.
Bubba: This is Asa's Personal blog. If you want just firefox now then read here or the offical developers blog
