My Web 2.0 is a social search engine where users can “tag and save content, connect to friends, share what they know, and discover what the world is tagging.”
You can control what you see (and want to see) by your social network, there is an open API for developers and you can pull just about anyone out via RSS feed.
Corante bloggers Ross over at Many2Many talks about Yahoo! My Web 2.0 Beta and Stowe Boyd at GetReal weighs in as well.
