mySociety panopticon / rss aggregator
Something that I've recently built, but isn't quite live (at time of writing) is the mysociety panopticon - which is just a web based rss aggregator with a fancy name. See http://panopticon.mysociety.org/
mySociety and it's sites get a large number of mentions in many places around the web. The panopticon uses google blogs and other search to pick up where they get mentioned and stores them all. The new panopticon (replacing one based on drupal by John Handelaar) is in the panopticon directory of mysociety cvs, and should be pretty easy to reuse if you wish to do so (see the README in the cvs directory for the simple instructions).
It's heavily based on the code used for displaying thegovernmentsays.com, extended to cope with topics (e.g. pledgebank, theyworkforyou) which entries are tagged with based on the feed that they come in through. Multiple feeds can use the same tag to put entries into categories.
