Applications of My Yahoo

A screenshot of (My)Yahoo! on February 18, 2004. Taken via the Wayback Machine.

My Yahoo’s purpose is to have users personalize their pages.[4]

The appearance, layout and content of the main Yahoo homepage is standard, My Yahoo offers customization.[5] On it users can apply themes, add sites, add widgets, rearrange the layout, and add tabs to the page.[6]

A MyYahoo page allows access to almost everything needed on one page. Applications and programs that allow access to social networking, Lottery numbers, a mail aggregator, a news aggregator, gaming applications, etc...[7] The goal is to give people access to everything they're interested in on a single page.

Users are able to link to Yahoo! Answers.[8]

Provides the option to link Yahoo Local. Enabling local search capabilities.[9]

In 2011, they created a mobile app.[10]

RSS features

  • Yahoo's personalized pages are less specialized than less popular sites. It is more stable[11]
  • It is also one of the fastest RSS readers.[12]
  • 52% of MyYahoo users are aware of RSS tools and 39% use RSS tools.[13]
  • Many websites have a “Add to MyYahoo” button to make adding an RSS feed to MyYahoo simpler.[14]

Criticism

My Yahoo can't consolidate different feeds resulting in the need for multiple streams.

Since the September 2013 redesign users have complained of numerous issues:

  1. Font size is too large and cannot be changed
  2. Applications are less configurable
  3. Weather app uses auto-locate instead of remembering a specified place
  4. Column resizing is no longer allowed
  5. Forced inclusion of a large Yahoo search bar

On 24 August 2017, many users reported that all RSS feeds stopped working.[15][16][17]
