Since I work for a newspaper (Die Welt) I'm very interested in what the "traditional" media is doing on the internet. Our online site offers RSS feeds on many different topics, just like the NY Times does. However, it seems unattractive to download any of these feeds as each one (as I understand it) only focuses on one topic. What the reader needs is an indiviudalised RSS feed that knows his / her interests. Is anyone doing that yet / what would it take? -I also have another question relating to housingmaps.com, which I wrote about last week. I mentioned that people put mashed up maps on their websites, and that google lets them use googleearth etc. for it. I was wondering when "mash ups" are legal? Are they usually done by users - or does something like Facebook qualify as a giant mash up? Still trying to figure out what exactly the term entails...

Some publishers, like the New Yorker, give you the option to select one all-inclusive feed, or to subscribe to each different department or section individually. That's very convenient.
