Playing with My Yahoo Web 2.0

Yesterday, I loaded my http://del.icio.us/ahynes1 >del.icio.us tags into Yahoo’s My Web 2.0 Beta. Today, as I wrote my blog post about Second Life, I used My Yahoo Web 2.0 to find the links I wanted.

Earlier this year, I participated in Online Social networking 2005. I tagged a bunch of the sites from that in del.icio.us. I knew that one of those sites talked about the use of Second Life to help people. So, I did a search on My Yahoo Web 2.0 for sites that I had tagged that talked about Second Life. Sure enough, the site I was looking for popped right up.

It was very helpful. Score an early Web 2.0 point for Yahoo.
