Journal TekZen's Journal: Convert Google News to RSS

I just stumbled upon a cool script that converts Google News searches to an RSS feed.

An example of the script is here: voidstar.com.

The PHP source code is available here: gnews2rss source.

I think this is a pretty handy utility. I found it when someone has posted a resulting rss feed to feedster.com. I am really tempted to add a news section to jaxn.org or tekzen.net that shows current news about the topics I am most interested in.

The example I found in a feedster search was for a feed searching on "The Salvation Army".

From looking over the source code it looks like a few small changes would need to be made for it to handle PHP installations that have register_globals turned off. I would like to take the idea and turn it into a module for cataBlog.

Anyway, I just thought that was kinda cool.
