RSS Feeds : Yahoo News Search via RSS!!.

Geez, I turn off my aggregator for 12 hours and I miss this!!

You can now search Yahoo News and get the results in RSS. Hip Hip Hooray!! You can use Jeremy's tool to create the feeds and then plug them in your aggregator. It looks like Boolean is accepted as well.

On second thought, I'm not sure how useful this is. Yahoo news does not pull from that many sources that Google News, Rocket News, or World News would miss. As Dave says:

"I tried Google News. 4000 pubs all reporting the same story is 4000 times more boring than one."

No sense in overwhelming my aggregator. (link via Jenny, who is sitting right next to me!!)
