What are "Feeds" on yahoo 360?

Feeds on Yahoo 360, Why i can't add feeds to feed module?

  • Why i can't add feeds to feed module? I copied from rss and past to feed module but can't display. How i solve it?

  • Answer:

    If you've done everything below, then you can't do anything else but wait and hope for the best: There are URLs - which are just addresses to web pages. Then, there are RSS feeds which you can add to your 360 using an RSS-specific URL. This is an example of an RSS page/link: http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories . WARNING: Getting the feed links to be accepted without an error can take SEVERAL tries. No kidding, even if you have the correct URL. The module is buggy. But I have eventually been successful in every feed that I've tried to add (see http://360.yahoo.com/kee_y360 ). Clearing my browser's cookies and cache & refreshing the page a few times in between adding links might have helped. The module is glitchy in this way. Yet even if you do add a link successfully, Yahoo is no longer updating the feature regularly, so it MAY take MONTHS for it to show up on your 360. You could put the links in the RSS module and wait a long time for them to be activated. The last feed that I added, which was Pandora, took a month to show up. RSS MODULE INSTRUCTIONS: - Go to any the site that you want to get the feed from. Look for the "RSS or XML" link or orange RSS button (okay, sometimes it's a different color). A RSS file will come up on the next page. (If the page looks like raw code, but don't let it scare you! You don't have to subscribe to the feed, you just need to copy that RSS page's URL). - To add the RSS URL to your Yahoo! 360° Feeds module, click on the "XML/RSS" button, select the URL found in the address bar of your browser, then use "Ctrl-C" on your keyboard to copy that address. - Click the "Add a Feed (via RSS)" or "Edit Feeds" link in your Feeds module on your "My Page" in 360. Use "Ctrl-V" to paste the URL into the "Add a feed" space in that page. Make sure to adjust the permissions for the Feeds module to something other than "Just Me (Private)". - When you're done, click the "Save" button below. NOTE: The Y!360 team is no longer addressing bug reports, as it prepares to migrate parts of 360 to a universal profile system (UPS). This transition was announced in October 2007 and the UPS actually started in a rudimentary beta form on October 16, 2008. The Y!360 part of the system hasn't been transferred over fully yet. - See blogs at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 and http://www.yprofileblog.com for more details. The 360 team blog is also accessible via the "Yahoo! 360 News" link in the upper right corner of your 360 space. You can post complaints on the Yahoo! 360 blog, but don't expect a personal response. - See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6fLRvC60pERfR7.8c?p=858 for more information on 360 glitches. - See the links in these blog entries for more details on Yahoo's overall direction and UPS: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6fLRvC60pERfR7.8c?p=1414 , http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6fLRvC60pERfR7.8c?p=1168 , and http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6fLRvC60pERfR7.8c?p=1236 .
