Answers also has a search tool that can be converted to RSS similar to Google Alerts. It's great for trolling the questions and finding people with questions you can answer. Also, with a Yahoo 360 account, you can create a profile that enhances your reputation and knowability. Thanks, John! Just wanted to point also that Yahoo!

Maybe the post should have been title "Trolling for Topics" as you could use YA for gaining a perspective on what people are seeking answers to. After all, we provide the content in our blogs.

One way to find that key content and get rid of the dross is to subscribe to a wide range of RSS feeds. If you subscribe to 20 newspaper RSS feeds from all over the world, there are always a few items that are quirky and interesting. I've developed a tool, Xenos, that enables you to look through a lot of RSS feeds then make your own feed up by simply dragging and dropping. Once you've made that feed, you can distribute it as an RSS feed, or as an email newsletter. You can check out the beta of the software at <a href="http://metanews.biz/html/xenos/xenosIndex.html" rel="nofollow"> www.metanews.biz</a>.

I get a TON of traffic from Yahoo. It's been a few weeks since I have been there though. Maybe I should make another visit!

It means checking into the website instead of sticking to an RSS reader, but it doesn't take much time to scroll through the page to see if there's anything valuable.
