Interesting. I already use Yahoo email alerts for articles that include SEO, Internet marketing, etc... When I went to the setup page (which you have to be logged into Yahoo to see, but is available if so by clicking on the headline of the page mentioned above), I was offered the option of adding any RSS feed URL. Nice next step in the "My Yahoo" plan for world domination. :p

One possible bug I noticed is that it offers you a choice of current Newsfeeds you may have selected for your My Yahoo, and need to separately add to this service, but this list is not all-inclusive. It shows my various sports teams alerts, but doesn't show my current RSS email alerts. I would think that any that I already have setup through the "regular" RSS Yahoo news feed would also be incorporated into this page. OK sorry if I confused anyone with that.

Anyway, I might give it a shot with some other RSS feeds. I do like the timely nature of the news feeds I get. One problem with that is there should be a negative keyword option to choose when setting them up. I keep getting updates about South Korean baseballers and other Koreans named Seo. :)
