Custom News Feeds
I used Daypop to search for Daypop in RSS Headlines for the first time today and came across this page:
http://www.apmforum.com/news-feeds/iraq-conflict.php
This is the first page that I know of that's using Daypop's RSS output to create a custom news feed. Daypop has been able to output RSS for any of its search pages for a while now and it's good to see someone using it and publishing the results.
Here's a little known secret: append &sum=desc to any search URL and you'll get the first paragraph of the article as the summary text.

One step further, append &o=rss to output RSS and you'll get your own personalized news headlines in your favorite news aggregator!

To test out the RSS output, Daypop has an RSS Viewer.

The easiest way to get at the RSS for search results is to click on the XML button at the top of every search page.
Use this in your news aggregator to monitor what webloggers are saying about the War in Iraq:
