Getting to My Yahoo!
My Yahoo! is your own personalized start page. After entering some simple information, My Yahoo! allows you to collect all your favorite parts of Yahoo! and the Web in one place. You can choose what you want to see, like email, news, weather, stock prices, sports scores, TV and movie listings, and much more. It's like having an assistant to bring you your favorite sections of the newspaper and tell you about your mail and appointments for the day.
My Yahoo! is accessible anywhere with an Internet connection—you don't need to download anything. This means you can check My Yahoo! from work, home, school, or even a friend's house.
