RE: [syndication] Google and newsblaster

You can do something similar using the Google API. Check out Peter
Drayton's Google2RSS:

Of course there is a much simpler method to add custom RSS news feeds to
Radio (or any other aggregator) using DayPop. You can see how to do it
here (watch out for line breaks in the url):

In radio these can be added to your list of sources so they will be
downloaded locally and thereby avoid the bandwidth bottleneck you
describe below.

Mentioned on Scripting News.

RSS versions of Google News and Columbia Newsblaster. Some questions:-

- Shouldn't this be produced by the source? Surely both Google and
Newsblaster could do it themselves.

- Can http://radio.weblogs.com/0104308 take the bandwidth hit?

- What tech was used to produce them?
