Yahoo and RSS

[daamsie]

Now, yahoo has the option of subscribing to feeds in my.yahoo and says you will automatically be in their beta rss directory. Has anyone noticed any benefits to their regular crawl as a result - or even better, to their rankings?

Also, can you search this rss directory, because I can't seem to find where that would be done? Advanced search has the option to select xml as a filetype, but that doesn't bring up any of the feeds I added. Or does it just take a while?
