Tom Raftery’s Social Media

MSN Search is now providing RSS feeds for search results (and has been for a few months now - who knew?).

I gotta say, this is pretty cool - this broadens out the Technorati Watchlist idea to the wider Internet beyond blogs (yes, such an Internet exists!).

To access the feed, do a search on MSN Search, as normal. Then, in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, you will see an RSS button (see the image below for an example) - copy the link from this button into your newsreader and violá, you have an RSS feed for your search.

Alternatively, follow these instructions from the MSN Search blog:

- run your web or news search on the MSN Search Beta
- add the text ‘&format=rss’ to the url
- copy the full url into your RSS Reader
