Yahoo, RSS, and Money

What do Yahoo, RSS, and money all have in common?

Well, they all come together on Yahoo's Company News via RSS page.

On this page, Yahoo allows you to create a custom 'financial news' RSS feed by entering stock symbols into a text field you'll find in the middle of the page.

Yahoo Company News RSS generator

Subscribe to the generated feed using your favorite news reader to automatically receive business news related to those companies.

This feature is really newsworthy for a couple reasons.

First, if staying up-to-date on business/financial news related to a specific company (or companies) is important to you, you now have an RSS-enabled tool to make the information tracking/gathering process much easier.

Second, this type of use for RSS shows just how powerful and versatile it can be. You are able to get only the news that's important to you. RSS' ability to deliver very focused content is a strength that will become more apparent in other online services within the next year or two.

Once again, a BIG 'hats-off' to Yahoo for being innovators and trend-setters in the world of RSS.

I am happy to provide this commenting feature to enable discussion of the articles posted. In fact, I appreciate and encourage you to participate.

Like everything else I put my name on, I hold this site to a very high standard. What you say in your comments reflect indirectly on me. Therefore, please be aware of the following guidelines/rules for posting your thoughts.

Keep it Clean.

Foul and offensive language is not only moronic and childish, but any posts containing it WILL be deleted!

Play Nice.

Posts containing personal attacks of any kind will be deleted. If you disagree with someone's opinion, provide an opposing one, without attacking the person. For example, "Derek, your stance on eating doughnuts will harm future generations." Not, "Derek, you're an idiot, and your stance on eating doughnuts is the dumbest thing I've ever heard..."

Religion and Politics .

Once again, since this site carries my name, posts containing religious and/or political views (nice or not) will be deleted.

Stay on Topic - Where Possible.

I know it's easy to get off on another tangent, and it's not really that big of a deal, but try to confine your comments to the discussion at hand. :)
