    SMH/Age rss restrictions: There are a lot of restrictions on the SMH and Age feeds. From their rss channel page ;

    Please make sure that your reader is configured to look for updates no more frequently than every hour. These feeds update only twice a day, so looking for changes less frequently is recommended.

    These channels are for personal use and only in news reader applications. You may not publish headlines from these channels to a web page.

    Ironically scraping their page would probably be ok. If you want to publish their RSS feeds on your page you have to go through a click-through with the following terms and conditions ;

    3.5 You must not display or archive any of the Headlines for more than 48 hours.

    That rules the SMH/Age out. We cant do a haloscan like service over their headlines from the RSS feeds.

    I had a look at some other Australian papers (Australia, Telegraph, Bulletin), and the others didnt seem to have rss feeds. Is there another that has rss feeds?
