Adding Yahoo News Search Results to Your My Yahoo! Page
Those of you who use Yahoo News and My Yahoo might be interested in learning about a new feature.
+ Run your search using the Yahoo News database.
+ Notice the button labeled “Add Yahoo! News Search Results to My Yahoo!” on the right side (below the blue bar) of all Yahoo News result pages.
+ Clicking this button will import the search string onto your My Yahoo! page (via RSS). Then, as new material enters the database, the latest results for the query will appear on your My Yahoo! page in the “RSS Headlines” section. The url cannot be transported to other RSS agggregators*.
Btw, the RSS portion of my Yahoo is still a beta release.
*Note: – Yahoo News search results available via RSS can be placed in any aggregator by using Jeremy Zawodny’s Yahoo! News Search RSS URL Generator.
Remember that you can utilize any of the advanced search syntaxes available in Yahoo (i.e. Headline: or Location: with either service)

There is an easier way to add RSS headlines to your My Yahoo page, and that is to go directly there and you will be offered the RSS Feeds choice on the left hand side of the page. I use Opera which has a built in aggregator (the only browser that does this, so far) but it isn’t as clear as the Yahoo one.
As a side benefit, anyone with a blog can get listed in the Yahoo directory, just by listing their own blog on their My Yahoo page. It will update quickly, too, because I just went to Yahoo and it shows a new blog entry of mine only 26 minutes ago.
Yeah for Yahoo!
