Yahoo’s Custom RSS Feeds

I wasn’t aware of this great tool; you can get news searches delivered as RSS via Yahoo. I added “Google” and “Gmail” to my auto-updated search headlines page.

Here is the full RSS URL;
http://news.search.yahoo.com/usns/ynsearch/categories/news_story_search_rss/index.html?p=google
... where “google” is the keyword of your choice.

Indeed, while Google is moving away from RSS with their recent switch to Atom (and them battling those who create their own Google News RSS feeds), Yahoo is fully embracing it. Googleplex folks are not always making the smartest choice.
