Hi Miles
I ran a workshop session on Automated News Feeds in Belfast last week.
There was a recommendation that it is now timely for the community to do
more work in this area (as well as a suggestion that I write a Dummies
Guide to RSS). I'll be addressing thisshortly.
For now, my workshop materials are available at:

> We also use a London News feed from the moreover.com site,
