Has anyone else noticed that myYahoo! has developed a serious case of the flakies in the last couple of months? First it was some of the comics that regularly failed to have the new day's art delivered. Now, on about one of five visits, all of the non-Yahoo RSS feeds are missing from the page. I've found myYahoo to be useful to collect blog feeds on which I want some degree of 'peripheral awareness' - one glance away when I check stocks or Rooters. Kind of disconcerting to see nothing but 'no new posts' over there when I know very well there have been.
It's rather unusual for an online service to let a high profile product like this fall into disrepair. Wonder what's going over there - some side-effect of the big reorg? Maybe I'll hear from a Yahoo or too - if they can see this post, that is....
Although i don't use it everyday, but seems to be working for me. Trying selecting the pages on the right.

I've noticed the same problem of late. Comics are definetly not getting updated, and I keep the "Sunday" one for a week before I get an update (again with a Sunday one). Today all of my outside RSS feeds are again empty, saying no post available. And I preffer Yahoo over the big G for searchs, and information too... Hope they aren't going down!?

Thanks for reminding me that Yahoo! is still in business. It's easy to forget such things at my age.
