Yahoo & RSS

It has been a big week at Yahoo! They've abandoned Google as their search engine and introduced their own; AND you can now add RSS feeds to MyYahoo. There's even an interesting convergence between those two features.

As noted by the Shifted Librarian, the Yahoo search engine includes in their search results links to RSS feeds so you can add them to MyYahoo in one click. For example, search for the Virtual Chase on Yahoo, and you'll see a link next to the site summary that says "RSS: View as XML - Add to My Yahoo! [Beta]"

While I was wandering around in MyYahoo, I also noticed that you can add cartoons to your personalized page. I quickly added my favorites, Doonesbury, For Better or For Worse, and Cathy. (In case you haven't heard, Cathy is officially engaged.)

RSS AND comics! All in one place! What more could a person want?
