RSS feeds seem like an interesting tool but I ran into some snags today with some of the sites running very slowly. Once I got Bloglines to stop timing out it seems simple to use, but I was never able to get feedster.com to work.
I think the main application for the United Way would be to use RSS feeds to monitor media coverage. However, when I tried to implement this there were very few hits on any of the methods of finding newsfeeds and it didn't seem like there was a way to narrow down the feed from our local media sites to a keyword.

A couple of people have had an issue with feedster.com so I'm going to have to look into that. The sites can definitely take a long time to figure out and to find the information you're looking for. As with most things computer related, it just takes time.
