Yahoo! updates My Web with new look, more social features
Yahoo! has updated their del.icio.us-like My Web bookmarking service with a fresh new look (pleasantly devoid of the over-used web 2.0 pastel palette) and more social tools geared towards helping you find new contacts, as well as what they're bookmarking. A new 'top tags' section and an 'interesting today' tab help you keep on top of the latest My Web buzz, while tag search results are now accompanied by an 'Active Taggers' list to show you which users are tagging things you're interested in, which makes it easier to add fellow My Web users who are interested in the same things you are to your contact list.Last on the update list are enhanced searching of all public pages (not just yours and your contacts'), as well as the much-requested ability to export My Web pages to a browser-friendly format.
Overall, it looks and feels like a nice update, but My Web is still missing some fundamentals, such as clean URLs (like http://del.icio.us/tag/downloadsquad) and a bookmark menu utility like Delibar for del.icio.us, which I've mentioned over on TUAW.

Very nice. I especially like the fact that it captures a copy of the page itself. Too many times the page changes and the bookmark is useless.

#1: Ben, sorry I didn't reply to your comment sooner. I've had a lot happening the last few weeks, including getting married, so I'm just getting back into the saddly and trying to catch up on all my blogging duties.
It's funny you ask Ben, as I just went to Delibar's website to get some contact info for the developer, when I see he's linked a Windows Delibar port, called Deliwin:

Hope this helps!
