As for the notes field, we on the team have debated the relative merits/detriments to auto-filling the notes and tags field (some people like it, some REALLY hate it!). But we’ve got some ideas that might be a good compromise for those who like it. It probably won’t happen for a few months, but it’s on the list of things we’d like to tackle.

The feature that I use most on MyWeb is the Saving pop-up window (followed not-so-closely by emailing saved pages). You could do whatever change with the rest of MyWeb as long as saving and searching are improved. Thanks for one improvement in the saving window. Now you can press tab inside the text box where you enter “Tags” and move out of it. It was not possible earlier and I had to use the mouse.

A few suggestions though, can you use the meta tags to get information from the webpage
to fill in the note? Mostly I leave the note empty but I would like it if you used the page description as note if nothing is specified.

In the previous version of MyWeb 2.0, it I had used a note on a page, the note was displayed in “bold” in the (equivalent of) “My Bookmarks” page. In this new version, it is not displayed with any emphasis or difference. I would like it if a certain distinction was made from rest of the formating.

When one enters tags for a page, some suggestions based on what you are typing are shown. It’ll be nice if the same was done for the search box.

Finally, like I have mentioned before. I’d like it if you changed the favicon for this service from the Red Y! to (how about) the new yellow “save it to MyWeb” icon. When I have lots of tabs open I can not differentiate between My Yahoo and My web because the tab is only displaying “Y! My…”

An — Your tags are in the left-hand column of the “My Bookmarks” page under the heading “Find My Favorite Tags.” The tag cloud shows your 20 most-used tags, and then you can use the search box to manually type in any other tag you have. You can also click the “view more” link below the tag to view all your tags in a format similar to what we had on the last version of My Web.

Your Search History is located under the “Tools” heading in the left-hand nav on the “My Bookmarks” page as well.

Hope that helps!

What confuses me though is that most of there websites have that red Y! favicon. I can not tell which is which by looking at the icon alone. I wish they had a different favicon for all the services.

“Top tags” (a Tag Wisp) is *random*, hence not very useful (except for accidental rediscovery) wait, it is not even clickable. Ditto for tag cloudlet under “Find My Favourites Tags”. I still can not find my search history.

Lot of cosmetic change, and I understand Orange means new, vibrant, but the new design looks half hearted vibrant.

Next to bookmarked\saved pages in the “My Bookmarks” tab is “number of saves”. Which I think means how many people have saved that tag, apart from me. Now I thought at first that clicking on it will show who else has saved it, then I could find people with similar interests and explore what else have they saved. But the first few “number of saves” I clicked did not have any savers. My guess is that people who bookmarked those pages did not make it public. In that case there should be a message of some sorts “no public savers”. besides, how am I supposed to know I can use that link to “edit”, “email” or “im” the bookmark.

Any way, I am getting used to it and I think have found one or two features I did not know about (or are new) :)

This appears to deviate from Yahoo’s traditional Color Themes

It is an interesting SUNNY motif

The Save to My Web link will be standardized on this orange button moving forward, so hopefully that will help clear up any visual confusion we’ve introduced.

What specifically are some of the changes that you find annoying? Any specific feedback you can offer would be a big help. And hopefully the new look will start to feel more comfortable soon!

BTW, frankly I do not like that orange look much. You changed a few things, which is annowying. Maybe I was used to the old interface and will start liking the new one when I get used to it.

Another thing, consider having one “save to my web” button look. The button in the yahoo toolbar is the best one at present, but you introduced a blue down arrow button long ago and now it is orange!!
