Steve Rubel notes that Yahoo is back to building walled gardens:
Has anyone noticed that Yahoo's love affair with RSS seems to be withering? In 2004 and 2005 Yahoo was all over feeds . It was an early leader in driving adoption, as a matter of fact. But in recent months I question whether they remain committed to RSS as a platform.
This is more than conjecture. In the past few weeks Yahoo has rolled out three major new web sites - Yahoo! Food , Yahoo! Advertising and Yahoo! TV . They're great sites, but none of them has feeds. There's a reason why - eyeballs.
Heck, I can't even get their podcast directory to add my podcast feed. It's valid - I check the feed validator after each new show just to be sure. Is anyone home over there at Yahoo?
