My MSN Launches RSS Reader

January 24, 2005, 02:32 PM by Bing | 22 Comments

The MSN Portal team had a “little” launch early last week; they added the ability to read RSS (and Atom) feeds on your My MSN page. Users can add an individual blog’s feed or an rss search feed or an MSN Search Results feed.  They also launched a site for listing all of the available MSN RSS feeds – right now, there are feeds for MSN Music, MSN Autos and MSNBC with more to come.
Feel free to add the MSN Search Blog to your preferred RSS reader:
- My MSN
- Bloglines
- Newsgator
- My Yahoo!

Since MSN Search allows saving the results as an RSS feed...
And My MSN allows adding an arbitrary RSS feed to my My MSN page...

May I suggest an "Add to My MSN" button on the MSN Search results page?

Where does MSN pull the feeds from? I added my own feeds to My MSN, and they were 5 days old, when of course, there are really more recent entries.

Do you have any official "Add to My MSN" buttons?

Donna - MSN is working with Moreover Technologies on this. I've been using this beta since launch. Once MSN receives a request to pull in a feed that isn't in their list, they'll add it within 24 hours. In my experience, a few hours after you add a feed that is stale in MSN/Moreover's index, it will refresh with the new content.

Will you be using a separate bot for RSS feeds, similar to Yahoo?

This doesn't seem necessary, but it'd be helpful to know ahead of time so we don't block the bot from accessing the site.

It's a good idea - but if it's not a silly question, can feeds be picked up automatically by the new bot, or is a submission service required?

Stop touching my blog.

I haven't tried the rss reader but I am impressed that MSN is promoting RSS access in their news and search.

I had AOL. It became so bad that I changed to MSN. Now you are getting so bad that I may change again.
