New columns in mysites?

[John S]

I've created a feature that installs a couple of new columns in all site
collections on our portal but how do I get the same feature to be made
available for everyones Mysite

Hi,

Regarding on the site column installation, I think it would be quite hard
to do it via feature or site template as those component can only help
apply the certain data/items to a specific site or future site(will be
created) based on a certain site template(such as using feature stapling)

One means you can try is using object model to add column into site
programmtically:

And if you want to site column populatino be done at the feature's install
or activating time, you can consider add feature receiver assembly and
perform the object model code (which add site column to certain site) in
the certain feature events:
