Subject: Prevent my.yahoo to make my RSS feed searchable

 Hi folks,

Does anyone know how to prevent My Yahoo making a private RSS feed searchable. So if I have an RSS feed that I want someone to add to their My Yahoo, I don't want anyone go to "add content" and being able to find that feed.

Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

It seemed impossible, but there's is a way. Thanks to the beautiful Greasemonkey.

This user script map360.user.js will create a new 360 page called "Map", on anyone's public 360 site. The map is driven by worldKit, with data fed by that 360 blog RSS feed. Entries appearing on the map are simply geocoded with geotags (like in this blog entry).

Here's how to do it...

• Install firefox
• Install the Greasemonkey plugin
• Install the User Script
• Check out my 360 blog map
• Add geotags to your 360 blog entries to create your own map, and pass it on.

(One technical note: since worldkit.swf is being request from brainoff.com, the flash security model still prevents the direct request of the 360 RSS feeds. So, worldkit will request the rss from a proxy running on brainoff.com. This is not script injection, but normal flash stuff. Tried using the GM_httprequest, but didn't get it working right.)
