imageLooks like Yahoo has done a much needed upgrade to their old my yahoo pages.  I almost forgot about this feature as I didn’t really find a good use for them.  The new version integrates a lot of nice AJAX and layout options.  It is very similar to iGoogle but I think I like the layout of this one much better.  Not that anyone really has a ‘home’ page anymore but I think that this is going to be my new home page from now on.  Most of the modules they have are RSS based which I use Google Reader for but I like the UI design of the new pages.  The only thing I was really using on iGoogle was the chat client which I now run as a stand alone using Prism.  This seems to load a lot faster than iGoogle does and now that I have Plaxo syncing all my calendars and contacts this makes using Yahoo that much easier, plus all my mail forwards to my yahoo account as I think it is the most robust web based email out there.  Gmail has some nice features (which is why I have a Gmail account as well) but I think as far as sending emails from the web Yahoo has the better model.
