Yours may have been better. Goodness knows your Spotlight script pretty much 0wn3d Apple’s implementation. :-)

Yes. I guess that’s as far is this project will go.

Does it do more or less what Cheesegrater does?

Because it's intended to be able to pull any URL, it doesn't do any parsing of the pages. It just dumps all of the text (minus as much of the formatting I can remove) into the feed.

Still, it's nicer than no feed at all.

Matt, I’d love to test out your code. I have a couple pages that I’ve experimented with doing some screenscraping with php.

Also, while they’re not official, here are some feeds that I use to read Pitchfork. They work pretty well (but I’d rather take my “scraping” in-house than depend on someone I don’t know doing the work for me).
