A couple of months ago, I encouraged Jeremy Zawodny to check out the blog scene. I knew he'd flourish in the environment, and guessed it might have some interesting effects on Yahoo!Finance where Jeremy works. Sure enough, check out this wonderful hack:
Yahoo Finance RSS Beta . Got a stock ticker for which you'd like to have an RSS news feed? Help test the beta RSS feeds we've put up on Yahoo Finance. Take your favorite ticker, say YHOO, and put this URL in your news aggregator:... [ Jeremy Zawodny's blog ]
Excellent! Immediately, a whole family of feeds becomes available. This isn't the first Yahoo service to do this, by the way. For some time now, Yahoo!Groups has done the same kind of thing on the pattern:
groups.yahoo.com/group/decentralization/messages?rss=1&viscount=10
Just swap out "decentralization" and swap in any other group name.
