Yahoo MyWeb Becomes a Haven for Tag Spam

In a little more than a week since it launched, Yahoo's MyWeb 2.0 social search engine has already become a haven for tag spam. A closer examination of the most popular tags reveals that crapware, nhw: bad crapware, nhw: bad and nhw: dangerous are among the leaders of the nearly 34,000 pages filed away and categorized on MyWeb 2.0. Each of these tags is filled with link spam. This provide a stark contrast to the most popular tags on del.icio.us. More fodder for the skeptics out there. I hope Yahoo can remedy this fast because it's a pretty promising tool, although it still needs some work.
