Posted by timothy on from the smooshing-things-together dept.

An anonymous reader submits "O'Reilly Developer News is reporting that one of Yahoo's employee's has hacked together a way roll your own Yahoo! News rss feed. Jeremy Zawodney, said hacker, is also an editor of Linux Magazine. News search over RSS is a feature Googlites have been pining for. It's interesting that Yahoo has, in a round about way, beat them to the punch on this one."

    With the relatively widespread use of RSS I'm really surprised that we are constantly forced to "roll our own" feeds. I mean, all I want is the front page of google news. Is it really that hard that all these news sites and such can't set up RSS for us? Freakin' Penny Arcade has RSS.
