We’ve had a busy week, with a Super and Fat Tuesday followed by a Chinese New Year Thursday. After you’ve caught your breath, take a look through our updates to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

• Getting mousy: On your My Yahoo! page, that is. Now you have the rest of the year to sport the Chinese New Year theme on your start page to remind yourself of all the good fortune to come. Just click “personalize this page” then “change color” and pick “seasonal” and ratatouille!
• Letting the world watch: We’re still in the beginning phases, but man, is it oh so cool. Yahoo! Live is the latest experiment from our Advanced Products team which makes it possible for you, yes you, to broadcast your life via a live video experience. The rest of us get to live vicariously through what you’re doing in real time. We’ve even got something for developers. Check out the preview of our API and embeddable components to add your personal touch. And read more here.
• All prettied up: Our Yahoo! Media Player has gotten a new look and feel. For instance, when you first load it up, it comes up minimized rather than half-open, so you can actually do other things on your page. No more flickering when you scroll on the player and now there’s a link to search on text related to the current track playing, which opens up in a new window (this link used to open in the current window, interrupting playback). We’ve even got a new homepage haircut, which has been smoothed out so you can easily find all the important points to get started rather than distracting you with dynamic features. Read more here.
