Taking My Yahoo RSS Feeds

October 5, 2004 By Will Richardson

So there’s been a lot of people talking about the “new” My Yahoo and it’s RSS capabilities. Now don’t get me wrong, I think it’s very cool that they are moving to include and support RSS on a pretty wide scale. And while I find it a bit overwhelming, the whole concept of an aggregated page of content like this is very intriguing. But I agree with Jenny that the limitations of the interface don’t make it very good solution as a news aggregator when you track dozens of sites.

But here’s a cool little hack. Mikel Maron has created a way for you to take limited feeds out of My Yahoo and use them wherever else you want to, which for me means in my Bloglines account. Right now it only works for your stock quotes, weather, movie listings and your yahoo e-mail. But more might be on the way. (I hope he can find a way to let us take feeds from Yahoo News searches.) Anyway, I’ve added my local movie listings to my Bloglines account (feed number 138…oy.) Just another step on the RSS road…
