I logged into My Yahoo today and what a surprise. They have new features for My Yahoo of which I had to take a look at.
The most notable feature is the tabbed search bar addition at the top of the page. This is just like the bar in regular search. This should have been done long ago, in my opinion.
Rearranging your modules is easier to do now. Editing the arrangement can be done via a new drop down menu in the caption bars. The layout page is not really needed anymore, and the results are amazingly quick. You can even email your modules to friends if you want.
The RSS feeds module appears to be out of beta. They now are stating that they support Atom feeds, which was not even mentioned before. Kewl. We all knew they supported it long before they told us they could.
A new feed discovery page has been added for My Yahoo users (note: you may have to have an account to see this page). This page has pre-defined categories which appear to have hand-selected feeds listed in them.
The feed layout page is pretty kewl. They show a "thumbnail" representation of your page layout. When you hover over the individual items, a hintbox pops up with the feed title in it.
The pages look cleaner and crisper to me too. The improvements are quite nice indeed.
