I was a bit confused by what was new, as I’ve got lots of ‘modules’ on there that when you look at them have RSS feeds available, but don’t show up within My Yahoo’s reader.

e.g. I’ve got a module, “Top Stories from Reuters” that shows up the way it always has: a list of headlines and previews, click on a headline and the new page loads with the article loaded. Click on the module name in My Yahoo and you get this: http://news.yahoo.com/i/578 which has buttons for adding them as modules to My Yahoo, or as RSS feeds.

Adding it as a module keeps the above described functionality, rather than using the cool new reader. Then I try getting the RSS feed and adding it manually, but Yahoo outsmarts me and make it the real Yahoo module.

Most of my modules on Yahoo are news modules, which are available just fine from RSS. I’d love to try their new web based RSS reader for reading them, but they won’t let me. Bah!

OTOH, I could add the feed for your blog to My Yahoo page and finally see the new reader interface. Looks nice, but lack of keyboard controls makes me still prefer Google reader.

I have kind of given up trying to keep tabs on specific blogs via a reader and most of the time just sample from the river.

One big disadvantage (for now) is that you can’t add specific blogs to your river.

Also, the animated Flash ad keeps running my CPU up and making my fan spin, ruining my otherwise tranquil evening.
