Mailing List Update
As we keep releasing webservices that fall into brand new categories, such as the Content Analysis service or the My Web service, we realize that there isn't a mailing list that everyone can use to discuss these services. Rather than create a new list every time we create a new service category, we've created a more generic list: yws-search-general. Any webservice that isn't covered by the other lists should be discussed there, as well as any general questions about the webservices.
We'll still create lists for major new services as they come down the pike, but this will ensure that you have a place to discuss any of the services without being off-topic. And it means that you don't have to keep up with lots of mailing lists as we launch more new categories. Or perhaps I've said too much...

My Web Services
Today, Yahoo! launched My Web, your personal search engine. Among its features is the ability to save URLs to folders for later reference. These folders can optionally be made public, enabling them to be shared with the rest of the world.
We've also exposed this public data through a couple of webservice functions. listFolders lets you get the public folders associated with a Yahoo! ID, and listUrls lets you retreive the URLs from any of those folders. There's a lot of potential in these functions, and we're looking forward to seeing some applications using them.
For more on My Web, be sure to check out the Yahoo! Search Blog.

Application ID Reporting
Starting today, if you have a registered Application ID, you'll be able to see daily usage data from it. For those of you running web servers, this probably won't be interesting news - you can just view your logs - but we think application developers will find this a useful new feature.
The Usage Tracking page requires you to be logged into your Yahoo! account (you will be redirected to a login page if you aren't). It will show you data (starting April 1) for all your registered Application IDs, including ones that have not received hits.
We hope you find this feature useful as you send your applications out into the world. As always, please feel free to make suggestions in the comments here, or on our Feature Request wiki page.
