    do this copy this link:

    http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/[your-username]/videos.rss

    what that does is create the rss feed for your youtube videos

    go to google reader, subscribe to that link and follow your own youtube rss feed

    there you should get a link for every video you posted and voala ping away my friend

      Also, if you want to use the scheme Youtube recommends for developers, your RSS feed is at:

      hxxp://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/YOURUSERNAME/uploads

      where of course "YOURUSERNAME" is your Youtube user name (and you need to replace the "hxxp" with "http" - I just used that so it would display here on the forum without BB code interfering).

      The RSS feed from above is in a different format (and doesn't include video thumbnails) compared to the method @diegoortiz posted above.

      Best Regards, Georgetta

      There isn't a "feed" for each video. There is a feed for your ACCOUNT, consisting of major updates to your account, namely uploads, favorites, likes.

      By definition, an RSS feed is about updates to content, so an individual video cannot have a feed, since it is never updated. What is "updated" is when you add a video, or favorite someone else's video.

    Here is how you get the RSS feed for an individual video:

    http: // gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/VIDEO_ID

    Replace "VIDEO_ID" with the the string that comes after ?v= on youtube.

    You get the video ID from this link:
    http: //www. youtube. com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID

    In this example you get this RSS link:
    http: // gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/VIDEO_ID

        I guess this is a topic that could be interesting for people to know regardless of the thread being old.

        You can get RSS from a keyword search quite easily from Youtube.

        This is how to get rss from youtube.

        Example 1 (A single keyword):
        http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos?q=keyword1&client=ytapi-youtube-search&v=2


        Example 2 (Multiple keywords):
        http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos?q=keyword1+keyword2+keyword3&client=ytapi-youtube-search&v=2


        Just replace keyword with whatever you want to search for.

        Hope that helps.

    This one works fine and validate OK with validator.w3.org
    Code:
    http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/<your YouTube username>/uploads
