My Web 2.0 is a social search engine. What does that mean, you ask? It means that Yahoo Search is combining the power of search technology with the power of people. My Web 2.0 is a brand new way to find and share knowledge on the Web - letting you find better answers by tapping into the shared knowledge of the people you know and trust. What does this mean for you? It means that you can now use My Web 2.0 to: 1) Tag and save content that matters to you. Find something interesting on the Web? Just tag it and save it with My Web 2.0 and you'll re-find it instantly next time you need it, 2) Connect to friends and share what you know. Sure search engines have revolutionized how people obtain information, but nothing takes the place of recommendations from people you know. My Web 2.0 lets you instantly tap into the knowledge of people with related or completely new interests so you can share what they know, and 3) Discover what the world has tagged and shared. Besides finding better answers through the community of people you trust, you can browse the content that the rest of the world has shared as well. So you don't just get access to Web content that's ranked by Search technology. With My Web 2.0 you get to discover new content ranked by real people.
