newsfeeds

[Robert Holmes]

So I was inspired by Owen's tinkerings with CSS to explore newsfeeds (I've
always liked the idea of someone else generating the content on my website).
I tried a few of the services recommended on
http://www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/rss.html: FeedSweep looks cute, but it's
slow and won't understand RSS < 1.0 (which is what my PhysicsWeb feed uses);
RSS-xpress Lite is fast and highly configurable (using CSS) but you can't
display the news items' descriptions; RSS Digest seems about the best for my
purposes, though it's approach to formatting is somewhat idiosyncratic.

Anyone had any experience with these things? Anyone got any useful feeds?
You'll find my current four favourites on www.holmesacosta.com
