Now this is neat: turning Google searches into a RSS feed

It's a .NET application that can be used to regularly run a search, and expose it as RSS. This is an excellent example of showing how the two basic web service models can cooperate. The query is run through a SOAP RPC call, and then output as a published RSS document, that any site can subscribe to using an RSS aggregator.

RSS is definitely the right thing (and the R stands for RDF once you get to 1.0!). I actually use one of many free RSS aggregators to pull in Blogspot, Bloxsom, Radio, LJ, whatever (including Slashdot, Kuro5hin, The Register) into a desktop tool. And yes, Charlie's RSS feed is in there too!

I'm actually in the middle of developing a KM architecture based on blogs and RSS...

One problem with the LJ RSS feeds (he replies to himself) is that they don't use the description element. Which is a bit of a pity. Then again its less annoying than some Radio blogs that don't use the title element.

So you win some, you lose some.

KM == Knowlege management? Wild.

thanks both for your help with this!
