There is another issue: a lot of quality content is not available in the form of feeds: event feeds, shopping feeds, feeds of modern art or last episodes of LOST available on Hulu.
Thus, an interesting opportunity is extraction + feed reader. You first extract and format quality content, then serve it to a user. Few days ago I released a demo: Photo Reader. Go check it out: http://semabox.com http://semabox.com
I am actively working in the area of "semantic news". Talk to me if you are in the same field.

- smhinsey 17y agoThat's a pretty interesting point. I used to use Yahoo Pipes to make my own DIY feeds from sites that didn't have them but it ultimately ended up being too much of a hassle so I stopped. I would definitely be interested in something that solves the problem a little more directly.
- jrussino 17y agoIf you want the most recent episodes of LOST, this should work: http://bit.ly/gJtxL http://bit.ly/gJtxL It may not be so useful right now, since the season is over. DISCLAIMER: I currently work for this company (www.truveo.com). We run a video search engine. AFAIK, Hulu doesn't provide episodes of LOST; they're only available on ABC's website.
- yurylifshits 17y agoCool! Does Truveo have well-formatted results in XML (title-link-thumbnail-embedcode)?
- jrussino 17y agoYes, I believe so. We use Yahoo's media RSS (MRSS) standard for the feeds on the site: http://video.search.yahoo.com/mrss http://video.search.yahoo.com/mrss You should always get title/link/thumbnail/source, plus embed code and other metadata (description, tags, runtime, etc.) if it's available
