Cool, off to try it now. GREAT work, thanks so much for the self-working version!
This solves one of the biggest problems with RSS feed posters... too much noise that users end up tuning out. Not enough "filtering" going on. This provides the facility for news, to foster discussion, and is a nice diversion for visitors too!
Would love to see the option for a "Post this news story" link or pulldown option... the user could then easily generate a new post to foster discussion with friends. (Perhaps each feed could have a preferred forum in which these news posts would go. Or perhaps the user could choose which forum.) This would encourage folks to pick and choose interesting news stories to discuss, and would integrate this feature back into the forum concept all the more. Just brainstorming...
