Yahoo may be planning an enhanced news search site that also incorporates RSS feeds, a la Feedster, Technorati, Topix.net and PubSub.
My Feedburner report shows that this blog was been crawled four times alone today alone by a bot called "Yahoo Newscrawler Test." Others are reporting this as well and it's showing up in their logs. Feedburner says...
"This is a Yahoo! crawler we do not recognize as the My Yahoo! RSS reader or anything else related to feed subscription. Therefore it is cataloged as a bot until we have additional evidence."
Has anyone seen this?
