Note to Usefultools.com team. When I click on the big beautiful screenshot of the site I'm reading about, it should take me to the site, not to the screenshot.

Thanks for the review, and posting it on HN.<p>What started out as a project inspired from a data mining assignment (back in uni), is now a simple service being used by paying customers, including US state government agencies, libraries, news aggregators etc.<p>Yes, many websites these days already have RSS feeds, but from what we've seen so far - RSS still has a long way to go before the average Internet user starts utilizing them.<p>We just introduced some new features, and revamped our service plans.

This has been done dozens of times already, usually with better results. For the example I tried (a table listing events) it's only picking up the site's "register" and "add to favorites" links and there seems to be no way of telling it to create a feed from different content. It needs more work.

Can this be effectively used for screen scraping?

I've yet to use one of these site and have a feed actually work for more than a couple of weeks. Anyone have better experience?
