Feed recommendations on My Yahoo

Don Loeb (ex-Yahoo, now at FeedBurner) reports that My Yahoo is now doing "feed recommendations based on a user's overall yahoo usage and RSS subscriptions."

I was not able to see the new module on my My Yahoo page, so either I missed it or this is rolling out as an A/B test.

Sounds cool though. The My Yahoo page should adapt and learn based on usage rather than requiring manual configuration. Less work is good.

See also my previous post, "Yahoo home page cries out for personalization".
