Get an RSS feed of your YouTube subscriptions
Following the announcement that Google Reader will be shutting down, I’ve been looking for a new place to read my content. I’m still not sure where I’ll land on that, but the change has me thinking about how I consume content as well. I’ve decided I’d like to do more of it in fewer places (the goal of RSS to begin with.) To that end, I’ve added my Youtube subscriptions to my feed reader. Here’s how you can get an RSS feed for your Youtube subscriptions, too:
First, make sure your feed is publicly available. Go to http://www.youtube.com/account_privacy and uncheck “Keep all my subscriptions private.”
Next, get your Youtube username. This may not be evident now that Youtube prefers that people use their real names, but you can still track it down. To find your username click the little arrow icon in the upper-right corner and go to My Channel. Your username will be in the URL which is something like "http://www.youtube.com/user/USERNAME?feature=something"
Finally, insert your username into the following address and you’ll have an RSS feed for new videos from your subscription list.
"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/USERNAME/newsubscriptionvideos"
