Who hasn’t counted down the new year with America’s oldest teenager and American Bandstand host? After you’ve jived your best 78th birthday wish for Dick Clark, check out our rockin updates.

• Widgets galore: Yahoo! Widgets 4.5 makes its debut, bringing you a more powerful and secure platform so you can make the most of existing Widgets or create your own using code you’ve already written or with partners like Clearspring, MuseStorm and Netvibes. We’ve also updated the Yahoo! Widget Gallery with a bunch of new features that make sorting through our more than 4,300 Widgets a cinch, including better searches and improved ratings and reviews. Not to mention more new Widgets for you to test out and love, like the Yahoo! Finance Widget and Widgets from our friends at the NBA and RockYou. Download it here.
• My Facebook: If you find yourself checking Facebook more than once a day, you may want to add the new Facebook module on your My Yahoo! page to stay on top of new messages, new friends, or quirky gifts being sent your way. Or just add the Facebook RSS feed so you’re on top of the latest super poke war without leaving your My Yahoo! page.
• History at its best: Forgotten who you’ve called using Yahoo! Voice or not in the habit of writing down phone numbers? Now you can recall your full call history by going to the Yahoo! Voice website and clicking “My Call History” in the top menu bar. View by month or full list of outgoing or incoming calls (dates, times, numbers, location, duration, and charges are all included). We’ve also customized the auto-recharge option for your Phone Out account so you can specify either $10 or $25 as your auto-recharge option. No more excuses for not phoning home!
