Calendar Module Update.

Hello everyone,

Many of you use the Calendar module to keep track of your appointments. Depending on your time zone, you may have recently noticed that calendar entries in your module are appearing with incorrect times.

We want you to know that we’re seeing your feedback, listening to your concerns, and are now working hard to resolve the issue as soon as possible. While we’re fixing the module, make sure to visit Yahoo! Calendar to keep up with your schedule. We’ll update this blog when we’ve made the necessary repairs.

Thank you for your patience and have a great day!

Getting stuff done.

Greetings all!

I admit it. One of the reasons I use my My Yahoo! page so much is because it helps me save time and stay organized. I love making lists, but crossing off my to dos is even better! So I thought I’d pass along a few ways I use my page.

To Do
This handy module helps me track tasks. I love the ability to assign a priority to them, so I can see at-a-glance what I should work on when I have a few spare minutes.

Calendar
This keeps me updated and I can quickly see what’s happening today and tomorrow.

Multiple Pages
I have a work page and a personal page (with a To Do module on each, of course!).

And there are a few feeds I can’t live without. Top Picks is a handy module when I only have a few minutes to check my page. It brings together all the stories from across my page that I’m most likely to be most interested in. I also love the Unclutterer blog, because I aspire to have a more efficient and sparse living space.

Hope you enjoy these features as much as I do!

Want meaty new modules? You got it.

Given that the word “My” plays fairly prominently in the “My Yahoo!” logo we stick all over the place, we figure it made sense to work hard on actually making it yours. And one thing we keep hearing again and again (from My Yahoo! users everywhere) is that you like your modules. Especially useful modules.

The bottom line is, if we expect you to make My Yahoo! your home on the Web, then we need to deliver the content that’s important to your life. Hence we’re working around the clock to add more and more relevant modules to choose from. The list keeps growing, but to whet your appetite here are a handful of new modules that are ready and waiting (available only in the new My Yahoo! beta):

• Your Mail: Preview messages from other email accounts (including Gmail), right on your page.
  
• Scoreboard: Stay up-to-date on the latest scores and news. Now with more game details right on your page.
• Weather: We’ve made it even easier to stay in-the-know. Now you can see current conditions and a 3 day forecast at a glance.
  
• Netflix: If you have a Netflix account, you’re gonna love this. See which movies are in your queue (and add to it!), what’s at home, and what new movies are available — all from one tidy module.
  

We’ve been burning the midnight oil, working on these modules too: Calendar and Address Book. Oh, and we’re not quite done with the new Bookmarks, but we think you’ll love the new options (like the ability to use it as a stand-alone module).

When more modules become available, we’ll let you know. And feel free to make suggestions about modules or anything you want to see in the new My Yahoo!.
