We've unveiled a couple of new enhancements: RSS capabilities for recent, popular, and each aggregated tag page. You could always visit those pages through a web browser, but now you can subscribe to their feeds in anything that accepts RSS (including myEarthLink Reader). If there's a particular topic you'd like to follow, add it as a word to the end of this URL: http://myfavorites.earthlink.net/rss/tag/

So if you want to keep up with things that everyone saves under the term "ipod", copy and paste this address into your RSS reader:

http://myfavorites.earthlink.net/rss/tag/ipod

If you're a Reader user you can add these to your Reader application using the handy Toolbar button.

Additional changes that just came out include some font and text modifications to make things easier to read, and a behind-the-scenes interface to smooth out the way you can add favorites from other EarthLink sites and applications.

Let us know what you think.

Glad you found us!

My name is Travis Metcalf and I'm the product manager for myFavorites. We have spent months developing it and are very happy to add it to the existing line up of EarthLink products and services. We hope you enjoy using it.

This blog is the place where we'd like to host conversations about the myFavorites application. It’s our sincere hope that you talk back to us (via comments on this blog) and tell us what you'd like to see in the product moving forward, what you think is broken, and last but not least, what you like about the application.

Currently, myFavorites is in 'beta', which means we are still making significant changes to the application to improve its’ features and functionality.

That's all I've got for now. As we ready our next myFavorites release, I’ll update you with what changes and improvements it includes.

In the meantime, if you have any suggestions we’d be glad to entertain the idea of adding them to the product at some point. We already have lots on the product roadmap but we’ll consider incorporating any great ideas.
