Yahoo! have this morning announced their new My Web product for their UK search engine - essentially a way to save your searches and search history from within the Yahoo network.
It's not a new idea - there are plenty of other personalised searches and search history applications out there (Jack mentioned Google's just last week) but there are a couple of features which could turn out to be interesting.
Here's the blurb they're sending out, for what it's worth.
My Web is a "personal search engine" that extends users' existing Yahoo! Search experience by providing a simple way to save, recall and share online information with friends and colleagues. My Web enables users to create their own personal online archive by saving their favourite pages, search results, and search history to My Web. In addition, users can share their information with friends and colleagues via integrated tools such as email, instant messenger, and personal networking provided by Yahoo!'s new Yahoo! 360° tool.
"Yahoo! Search is focused on providing innovative, useful technologies that enable people to find, use, share, and expand knowledge," said Salim Mitha, Director, Yahoo! Search, UK & Ireland. "My Web is the next step in our vision of integrating search, personal search and community by providing users an easy way to have their own personal web search experience that incorporates the best of the Web and what matters most to them."
The interesting aspect here is how it links into the other Yahoo tools - 360, messenger and the like - to enable you to share your search history.
But has anyone given it a go?
