Yahoo pulling ahead of Google, A9, and Jeeves
Yahoo has finally come out with the tool I've been looking for, MySearch. The web has been too big for bookmarks for a long time. Google was a nice alternative--instead of bookmarking, just search for it. But that meant you had to remember what search you used to get to a particular site.
Recently, A9 and MyJeeves have come out with diary interfaces that let you store notes about webpages you visit, but A9 forces you to download an invasive toolbar (I am tired of tools that force me to install yet ANOTHER toolbar) and for MyJeeves, well, you have to use Ask Jeeves (gag).
Yahoo's new MySearch tool seems to avoid these problems. They let you store a web address and add notes about that page with a bookmarklet called Save to Y! My Web, and then you can go to My Web and categorize or search your saved URLS. Awesome.
Now when is Google going to get on it and release their competing tool?
