From MSN FAQ http://help.msn.com/(cHJvamVjdD1tc25fcnNzdjEmbWFya2V0PWVuLXVz)/Help.aspx?querytype=topic&query=RSS_PROC_AddingFeeds.htm&fs=1 :
Have your RSS site indexed by My MSN
When your site is published as Really Simple Syndication (RSS), it can be indexed by programs that "crawl," or search, the Web for new content. When your site is indexed, users can find your site by searching for your content with the search box that appears when you click Add Content. If you search for content from your site or domain and you get no results, your site hasn't been indexed yet.
To get your RSS feed indexed by MSN:
On the My MSN page, click Add Content.
Click the Search tab.
In the Search for content box, type or paste the Web address (A location on the Internet, such as http://www.example.com/. ) from your RSS feed.
Click the Go button.
Your feed will be indexed within about an hour.

My guess is that you need to do pretty much the same thing for G. I'm also willing to bet that until enough people add your feed to their "My [SE]" page, that it's not going to be easy to find in their "Add Content" search. E.g., It's pretty easy MSN to count how many people have added FeedX to their My MSN page, so it's quite easy to tell how popular and thus how important a feed is.
