• "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," Qi Lu, vice president of engineering for Yahoo Search, said in a statement.
• Users can also share information with integrated tools, such as e-mail, instant messenger and personal networking provided by Yahoo's new Yahoo 3600 product, the company said.
• The search giant said the beta version of My Web, available at the company's site, was developed from extensive user feedback generated from the successful launch of its search history product in October 2004.
