My Yahoo! Blog

One world, one page.

Hi, my name is Eve and I’m a “Marketing Yahoo!.”

Prior to moving to the Bay Area (for good) in November 2006, I was somewhat of a nomad. I enjoyed traveling since my first adventures in China in the early 90’s and have always seized opportunities to live and work in different places.

The Philippines is my original home and I am an “adopted child” of a few other places. Nowadays, I’m glad there’s My Yahoo! because it’s a great time-saving way for me to stay in touch with news and developments in places I used to call home.

If there are places that have left a positive imprint in your life or opinion makers who never fail to bring a smile to your face, My Yahoo! is a great tool to stay connected. I set up a few RSS feeds to bring the world onto my page. Now, I can quickly scan through news and stories and reach out to friends and family in those places whenever I want! Here’s an example.

So wherever you go in this world, make sure to bring a memory to your My Yahoo! page. Enjoy!

What’s all the buzz about?

Since I started interning at Yahoo! last month, I’ve become a bit of a news junkie. When Maria Sharapova appeared at Wimbledon in a scandalous tuxedo, I was the first of my friends to know. Ditto for “American Idol” Ruben Studdard’s marriage and Morgan Tsvangirai’s withdrawal from the Zimbabwe elections.

I fear this addiction is going to get worse now that I have the Yahoo! Buzz module on my My Yahoo! page…

Buzz pulls together the Web’s hottest stories, determined by people like you (and me). Stories are ranked based on the number of votes they receive, among other things. The new Buzz module gives you these stories right on your My Yahoo! page. Add the Yahoo! Buzz module now!

Disagree with the current list of top stories? No worries, just head over to Yahoo! Buzz and start voting. Love stories about the upcoming Olympics? Buzz ‘em up. Hate stories about Britney? Buzz ‘em down.

If you want to add a more human element to your collection of news articles, consider adding a module or two. There are several different Buzz modules you can add to your My Yahoo! page, each with their own topic. Here are some of my favorites:

• Entertainment
• Science/Technology
• Politics
