Eightlinks introduces the concept of RSSlets, or “functional RSS feeds,” after cobbling together a quick script to scrape FedEx tracking info into an RSS feed. This gave him the idea for “a service that allows users to generate dynamic RSS feeds that actually do something functional from any web page.”
Some prototype example feeds include the aforementioned FedEx tracker, a password-protected referrers feed, Google New stop stories (with a keywords-filter parameter), and the not-yet-RSS-enables Talking Points Memo blog.
