Open The Dialogue

Just saw that Business Wire has added the one-click “Add to My Yahoo!” button to its RSS feeds page (you’ve got to be logged in to see it). While they haven’t added the “MyAOL,” “MSN,” “Bloglines, “Rojo,” or any other services just yet, it’s a decent start, and the next move in the wire service attempting to meet the marketplace tango.

Now if only they’d realize that the passwords shouldn’t be necessary for getting people to subscribe. PR Newswire tried to “shut out” people for a long time who didn’t meet the “journalist” credentials that they had set forth, and BW made a point to let bloggers in. But BW hasn’t been able to let go of this one for some odd reason.
