Read/WriteWeb got a sneak peak at the beta and they have some screenshots, along with their initial impressions. There is also a screencast that you can see by clicking on the picture on the right.

The beta has a great look and some neat features such as:

• pre-built personalized page for each user, based on data Yahoo has already gleaned from their usage of Yahoo properties – the design of the page is closely aligned with yahoo.com;
• Category pages for topics such as cooking, plus “content suggestions”;
• Users can further customize their page with drag-and-drop modules, and new four-column and small search box layouts;
• Feed previews and a full post reader on the page;
• Editable Personal Assistant with instant access to things like Yahoo! Mail, horoscopes, local traffic, etc;
• Redesigned modules from Yahoo! and select partners, with games, music, commerce, sports updates, weather, finance portfolios, TV listings, etc;
• Sharing feature, enabling users to send their My Yahoo! page or favorite modules to friends and family – note, this is very similar to Pageflakes’ sharing feature, only Yahoo told me that their sharing service doesn’t require sign-ups;
• More “new interactive modules” to come
