It’s National Nature Photography Day! So before you grab your camera and hit the park or peruse through 2 million nature photos on Flickr, take a look at our “all natural” updates from the week.
- More of My: My Yahoo! just juiced up its modules for beta users per your feedback (thank ya!). Have multiple email accounts? Get a preview of your emails right from your start page (even non-Yahoo! email accounts) that support POP Mail. Or try the Yahoo! Scoreboard module that lets you quickly get the latest updates on your fan-tastic sports team (it even “hides” on its own when your team is off-season). There’s more, so read up on what else the crew has up its sleeve on the new My Yahoo! blog. Non-beta users, hold tight!
- Mas dinero: Yahoo! Telemundo just launched a new financial education site in its “Tu Dinero” section with new personal finance tools and information en Español. “Soluciones Financieras” offers practical information about budgeting, saving, ID theft, credit and loans — basically your one stop shop for all things personal finance. There’s even an interactive budget calculator, so no more excuses for living hand to mouth.
- Zurf your turf: If you’ve got ZoneTag rolling already, you definitely need to try the first ever location-aware mobile photo browser on your phone! Zurfer not only lets you browse Flickr while on the go, it surfaces photos taken around you wherever you are (this is where ZoneTag comes in). You can also view your friends’ and groups’ latest photos, access your own collection, or do your normal Flickr searches. Don’t have a ZoneTag account yet? No biggey. Anyone can download Zurfer and get all the perks. You just need to manually input where you are to get the local highlights! Happy zurfing and read more here.
- Jumpcut your Yahoo! ID: Sick of juggling IDs? We thought so. You can now use your Yahoo! ID to log into Jumpcut. Only have a Jumpcut ID? You’ll be prompted to link it to a new Yahoo! ID (make it the same or just create a new one). Attached to your online mug? Don’t fear — your Jumpcut screen name, account information, and profile photo will remain the same. Still have questions? Read more here.
