Yahoo Bookmarks to Replace MyWeb

Yahoo finally realized the need to revamp their bookmarking service to keep up with their Rival Bookmarking Services and unveiled a new Beta version of Yahoo Bookmarks.

The new Yahoo Bookmarks saves your page URL along with its content and a thumbnail for future use, so even if the bookmarked page goes offline, you don’t have to worry because you’ll have a copy of that page saved in your account. Yahoo Bookmarks has better organizing capabilities with convenient drag and drop management along with folders and tags (Pretty Similar to Pocket). Unlike MyWeb, Yahoo Bookmarks doesn’t have any bookmark limit. Cool isn’t it ?

Yahoo Bookmarks is embedded into new Yahoo Toolbar for IE, allowing users to bookmark the page with a single click.

Why Yahoo Bookmarks, when we have Del.icio.us ?
According to Yahoo Search Blog, Yahoo Bookmarks will focus on personal saving, organization, and recovery while Del.icio.us will concentrate on meeting your social bookmarking and sharing needs.

Yahoo Bookmarks sound like a All in one Bookmarking Service, but Del.icio.us still remains my hot favorite; I wonder why Yahoo doesn’t concentrate more on improving Del.icio.us, Why doesn’t Del.icio.us get private bookmarking options ?
