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.

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.
