Yahoo Feature Wishlist

I'm a big fan of recent changes at Yahoo, but I have a longish list of features that I wish they offered. Here it is:

1) Yahoo Calendar -- they need to have an webcal feed so calendars are readable with Mozilla Sunbird. There should also be an easy way to publish a Yahoo calendar to a blog. Maybe this will come when Yahoo!360 is unveiled.

2) Yahoo Tasks -- This is a small feature on the calendar page, but should be a module available for the My Yahoo front page. It should also be awesome like Tadalist, with quick add/delete and an RSS feed. I tried using Yahoo tasks, but it was much too clunky. Hell, Yahoo should just buy 37signals and incorporate their whole product line.

3) MySearch -- This one is so close to being a good alternative to del.icio.us for private bookmarks, but has a few frustrating problems. The first one is that it doesn't check to see if I've already bookmarked a URL when adding a new bookmark, so there is nothing to stop me from accidentally bookmarking the same site multiple times. Second, there is no way to edit URLs after they are entered, so if a URL is wrong or changes, a new entry has to be made. They're on the right path, though.

4) Notepad -- This could be a nice feature, but now it's more like something they just threw together. I would love a place to leave notes to myself rather than trying to keep track of paper scraps or constantly emailing myself. The problem is that the only way to search notes is from the main Notes page. This should be integrated with MySearch so that notes are automatically bookmarked on Yahoo! MyWeb. Then they could be categorized with multiple categories (the current system only lets you put a note in a particular folder).
I've tried to do this manually, but notes do not have a static URL. If you bookmark a note then update the contents of the note, it breaks your bookmark because the URL changes.

So, there they are, my major frustrations with Yahoo. Obviously Yahoo understands the benefits of Web2.0-style features since they purchased Flickr, so I assume these types of features are coming--it's just hard to wait when I know these could be available today.

If you have other recommendations for Yahoo, leave them in the comments.
