CIL 2009 Day 3 - What's Hot in RSS?

Steven M. Cohen (a regular at Computers in Libraries) gave his annual, entertaining list of sites and services that he thinks are notable in the world of RSS. Some of them are just sites that use RSS in some capacity and others can be used to create interesting RSS feeds. This year he had a list of one for every letter in the alphabet (fudging one and skipping a couple) presented in reverse-alphabetical order. Here's the list:

Z – Zoho – http://www.zoho.com – online documents

Y – YouTube RSS Search http://www.youtube.com/rss/search/???.rss (replace ??? with the thing you want to search for)
