Yahoo RSS feed bling

If you don't use a My Yahoo page, or subscribe to any blogs, this is probably of no interest to you. I recently noticed Yahoo has unveiled a couple new features to their RSS feed module on My Yahoo!

First, they now show an icon next to the feed name. I presume the source needs a favicon.ico file.

Second, they now show a tooltip popup that contains a brief teaser of the posting's body. This must be a special setup at the RSS source page, because some of my blogs don't show this. But if you look at this screenshot, you will see what I'm talking about as I hover over the final link for the Hacking NetFlix blog.
