Topix RSS Feeds. G-Blog noticed that Topix is now providing RSS Feeds for searches on their site. I played with Topix last week by putting in my zipcode and I was extremely happy with the results, but didn't mention it because it wasn't RSS enabled. Now, I can get local news in my aggregator. [Library Stuff] Interesting, though I'm getting stories from LA and New England with no apparent connection to GA other than matching place names.  Search engine needs a bit of fine tuning.  AIA this is one cool tool. 2:48:59 PM
