Feeds/RSS are used if you want to show content from other websites on your 360 page. It updates to show new content from blogs, news websites, etc. "If you have another blog on Live Journal, Typepad, Xanga, or Wordpress, you can create an RSS feed of that blog and add it to Yahoo! 360°."

If you're on a site, you can check to see if the site has feeds. The link to view a website's "RSS"/feed is usually on the side panel or at the very bottom of most websites.

Here some examples of sites with feeds:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/3223484.stm
http://news.yahoo.com/rss
http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/
http://www.livejournal.com/syn/list.bml


For example:
On the BBC site, it says "Choose a feed." You click the echoing, orange icon or the and you'll be take to that particular feed's page. Then, you can copy the URL of the feed from your address bar and paste it into one of the boxes on your 360 page.

*Note: Some sites work better with Y! 360 than others. I.E. BBC feeds works great with 360, but a lesser known website might not work as well.

Also, the feeds may be rejected, but that's a problem from Yahoo's side. You might have to keep trying to add the feeds URLs. You can also send feedback if it keeps rejecting your feeds: http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/360/cgi_feedback



As for the feeds, you don't write the feeds on your 360 page. You write a review on another Yahoo page and it will be featured on your 360 (optional).
Go to http://local.yahoo.com (for hotels, restaurants, etc)
http://games.yahoo.com/
http://shopping.yahoo.com/
http://travel.yahoo.com/

Search for the item/place (games, restaurant, hotels, etc) which you want to review.

When the search completes, click the link for that item or place and find the 'Write a Review' link on the page (it should be on the bottom left of the page).

After writing the review, it'll take a few days for Yahoo to approve each review.

On your 360 page, check the box near 'Reviews' here: http://360.yahoo.com/edit/activities.html;_ylt=AqIPJhMUlW2mOr_.KhvRMSusAOJ3
Select 'friends' or 'public' under 'Can be seen by' and save.
