    I wrote a little program to automatically extract and categorize SEO News (include new articles) from various news sources and SEO sites.

    http://www.4th-media.com/newsbot/

    It's similar to Google News but the program is much simpler and extract SEO news only. I thought the idea of categorization (News by Topic) was cool.

    is the tool useful at all? please give me some suggestions and feedback for futher improvement. I plan to have a search box on the page.

    I for one would love a tool like this if the topic was configurable. I currently list two newsfeeds using carp.

    One is somewhat relevent since it's on motorcycle racing, but my site is more turing and travel based.

    The other is actually from a vendor. I get great articles, but they all have a purpose, sell for them. I've had it for about a week, however I do not think this was a good idea in retorspect.

    It's not open source. I wrote it myself.

    I think it's great work. What I think would improve it, and put it above a lot of the RSS scrapers available, would be to filter out duplicate news stories from different news sources, somehow.

    onestop, I'll check your blog. The program will automaticall drop a source if it can't find at least one new item in a week.

    nullbit. good suggestion. I'm working on filtering out dup items. The program has been up for a few days. I'm working on adding new features
