Default RSS feeds *INTO* vb not just out

vb3 has easy to use rss/js/xml feed output. But what about the other way, integrating information from external feeds, prehaps filtered, into a vb board ?

For example, say you wanted to stay informed about the ongoing rivalry between nvidia and geforce graphics cards. You start a thread in your forum and tell a php script to service it.

You provide:
1. one or more URLs to RSS feeds (thousands available, pick some that are likely to have geek info on the graphics cards like extremetech, cnet etc.)
2. provide a regular expression that looks for "nvidia" or "ATI"
3. update interval (minimum time between posts)

The php script produces:
a new post at most every XX minutes/days with only the items from the feeds that match the regexp. For each matched item:
title (linked to external full article), description, date, feedsource
Bonus 1: Nicely formatted via a template.
Bonus 2: highlighted found search terms

Then you can use all the existing vb infrastructure to be notified, display summaries etc. of these scraped feeds.

I guess you would also need some way to turn the feed off for a particular thread (short of just removing it)

EarlyHalf-Life 2 Results Show ATI Well Ahead
ATI outguns nVidia at every turn according to Valve's internal testing. A new driver from nVidia is just around the corner that may improve nVidia's performance on Half-Life 2, but for now appears to have a big leg up., 9/9/03 1:21 am, ExtremeTech

nVidia's Risky 3D Optimization Gamble
What's the right way to draw a 3D scene? What's the right way to benchmark 3D hardware? nVidia's adoption of application-specific optimizations could be bad news for buyers. We explore this complex issue, analyze nVidia's new approach, and make some predictions, 9/9/03 1:28, ExtremeTech
