RSS Content For Commercial Use

    Seems it is difficult to find top tier content for anything but personal use. I am looking to fill out my site with some feed content(News feeds). Any suggestions (Sample site usage would be nice) is welcome. Also I was wondering if someone could answer for me how a site like www.topix.net is not in violation of the TOS for many news feeds as it is displaying Google ads mixed with these feeds.

    Thanks.

    Uhm... I'd like to ask almost the same question...

    I had an old site created which picked up RSS feeds and posted them to blogs using a script called rss2blog... but later I found that it had been classified as a spam blog (splog) by someone so I pulled it down... (I used RSS feeds from only one site)...

    And then there was topix.net and king5.com... it looked pretty much the same as what Rss2blog was doing, plus it had full news content from main headlines of sites like BBC and CNN, but I'm not sure what keeps them away from being classified as splog sites or similar...

    I'm literally sold to the idea that topix had, but wouldn't want to go non-compliant against anything... I've just had an overview of topix.net, and it looks pretty much like a site which links to rss feeds from various websites to me...

    Does anyone know what topix is doing different?
