Google bashing aside, My Yahoo! has become my favorite site on the internet, and one of the few companies outside of Apple where I would consider working. That website is my one stop for all the information I need in a day. Besides the normal stuff like my spam email, news, weather, stocks, they keep adding more and more awesome stuff.

First of all, I have always been a big fan of Yahoo maps. It's way better than mapquest. The interface is cleaner, and it remembers your locations so you don't have to retype your home address. Now it's got this awesome feature where it will put a dot over restaurants, stores, ATMs, bus stops. You can very easily see what's around you on any given map. You mouse over the dot and it tells you what it is, click it for more info. Very useful.

Then I noticed a couple weeks ago Yahoo added support for evite. I gave them my evite login and now on my homepage it lists all my evite invitations in chronological order!

And the best feature of all: RSS feeds! You can give Yahoo any RSS link (or select from a list) and this information will be on your home page. So I now have all my friends blogs and RSS feeds from other news sites on my yahoo home page! And a cool addition: when you search for something on Craigslist the bottom of the page has an RSS link for that search. You can enter that in yahoo, and it will be on your home page! So for example, if you are shopping for Miata's under $3000, search for that on craigslist, enter that seach in yahoo, and every time you go to your home page you will see the 10 most recent listings! Very, very, very cool.

It's almost at the point where I can visit Yahoo through the day and NEVER go anywhere else. I get every piece of information I need right there.

Couple that with PithHelmet which removes ads from websites, the web is better than it has ever been before.
