    We do one at work, it's not the most exciting thing for punters but the affiliates get the heads-up on new releases straight away and Google seems to like it when you have them.

    I sometimes use the ones in Google, good for finding random things!

    Which reminds me. HEXUS.tv needs an RSS feed.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    And then it was done:

    http://www.hexus.net/rss/tv_rss.xml
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I'm not seeing any full articles in the feeds you mention, just <descriptions> and <links>. Could you tell me what you mean by full article?

    Wow, that Blogsmith RSS generator does a pretty bad job of making readable XML.

    Still, I can see how it works. Thanks.

    Yeah netvibes is awesome.

    The only feed I have is for dailytech. Don't bother with the hexus feed since check the front page out on a regular basis.

    Use Squeet to get them emailed - set it to read as they come out on the popular sites like BBC top news stories then for smaller things force it to read around midnight.

    Have them for sites I rarely visit but want the news like Geekdinners, Joel on Software, a couple of Sourceforge projects, NT, RFH, OSWD and a couple of people's blogs.
