You do some ridiculously cool stuff Ishai. :)

How did you push the master page changes out to existing sites? Global solution 
deployment and activation?

spot on.
We had to do something similar, so we added a control in the my site master 
page that would activate a feature that would change the quicklaunch 
navigation. The control would check if the feature is activated, and if so - do 
nothing. if not, would show the user the "please wait" screen, until the 
feature has finished activating.
This way, even existing sites got the customisation (and we had a platform for 
deploying new features to existing sites without having to run a script). I'd 
still recommend a script instead - because it does hamper performance for the 
control to do that every time the page loads - but we had a way around it (the 
feature also changed master pages to one that did not have the control). I dont 
remember why we didnt script it - I just know there was a very good reason.

You can modify the top link bar through Central Administration -> SSP -> 
Personalization site links. You can also Audience Target these which is great 
for fixing team site links for different departments.

I believe the Quick Launch links and headings can only be modified on a per 
site basis via My Site -> Site Settings -> Quick Launch.

If you wanted to provision new sites with different links and headings you 
would need to create a provisioning feature.

If you wanted to customise existing sites I think your only option is code...or 
PowerShell?

Subject: My Site

Hi All,

I am looking for a way to customise the "My Site" Quicklaunch, any clues where 
I can customize this, add new menu items and apply to all existing (visible to 
all) new/users?

Thanks,
