Google adds RSS for search results, YouTube adds audio preview

A couple of interesting updates from two of our favourite web platforms:

Google: According to ReadWriteWeb, Google will soon offer RSS feeds for searches. So what?, you may ask. Well, if you work for a company or organization that likes to track its brand on the web, then you’ll appreciate being able to stream your brand-focused search results right into your RSS reader.

Of course, Google Alerts already does something similar by providing email alerts for news and blog searches, but RSS streamlines the whole process.

(Still unsure about RSS feeds and how they work? Watch this video.)

YouTube: The video sharing and social networking site has added an audio preview button to their comments section so that you can now hear your insane random utterances before posting a comment.

That’s right, now you can finally hear what “LOL!!! WTF! Your teh most retearded ever!!!!” sounds like.

Of course, xkcd has already addressed this:
